Piper, Fredrik Magnus
Piper, Fredrik Magnus (1746–1824). Swedish architect who introduced a mature English Picturesque movement (having made studies of Stourhead and other gardens) to Sweden in his landscape garden at Haga, near Stockholm, with its exotic fabriques (1780–1820). He designed several Neo-Classical houses, including Listonhill, Stockholm (1790–1), and Bjärka-Säby, Östergotland (c.1796).
