Nils Persson was Swedish vice consul in the Netherlands from 1875 to 1903 and consul in Germany from 1894 to 1909. He owed his fortune to the production of artificial fertilizer, Norwegian iron ore and a brick factory.

Consul Persson's mansion, also known as the Essener Villa, is one of the attractions of Helsingborg. The building is located east of the intersection of South Street and South Main Street and is surrounded by a lush park.
The villa was built in 1848 for Count Gustav von Essen by architect Gustav Frederick Hetch. From 1883 to 1916 lived a businessman and politician, consul Nils Persson. After his death in 1923, the son of the consul of the city of Helsingborg presented the villa.

The villa is built in neoclassical style and has not changed significantly since the construction. This is a rectangular building with several protruding parts. The building is three-storey, with a facade of yellow and white plaster, a cellar and a basement. The boundaries between the basement, the pedestal and the upper floors are marked with cornices. The façade of the second and third floors is smooth and polished. The windows of the second floor are large, and the third - have a slightly smaller size. The entrance is forward-facing and decorated with columns, above it is a balcony with a forged fence. On the south side there is an entrance to the second floor, a metal staircase leads to it.

Consul Niels Persson bought the house in 1883 and lived there until his death. He made some changes, gave the building a more modern look, enlarged the windows on the second floor.
