History
File:Alkvetterns herrgård enligt P Piscator 1780.jpg
The current-standing manor house was completed in the 17th century, and it traces its history to the 13th century.
The estate, acquired by Karin Nilsdotter Bielke at the end of the 16th century, was inherited by her daughter Brita Eriksdotter Gyllenstjärna in 1596.
The current-standing white-colored manor house was rebuilt at the beginning of the 19th century by Johan Henrik af Geijerstam.
The manor house is currently the only listed building in Storfors Municipality, and it is currently privately owned.{{Cite web |date=9 November 2007 |title=Värmländska byggnadsminnen – Alkvetterns herrgård |trans-title=Listed buildings in Värmland – Alkvettern Manor |url=http://ext-dokument.lansstyrelsen.se/Varmland/Dokumentarkiv/Kulturmiljo/Byggnadsminnen/alkvettern.pdf |access-date=27 July 2022 |website=www.länsstyrelsen.se |publisher=Värmland County Administrative Board |language=sv}}
