The castle-like mansion was built in the 1660s'. During the second world war, it was bought by the Norwegian government in exile in London to be used as a training site for thousands infantry soldiers despite Sweden being neutral. Axel von Fersen the younger was the son of Axel von Fersen the older, who owned the castle even though his busy international life sent him away from the place. The castle remained in the Fersen family until they got bankrupt in 1867. The castle burnt in 1945 and lost its roof. In 1951, the Castle was given to the the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. A major restauration was conducted in the 1990s', still ongoing to date.
