History
The history of the estate goes back to at least the 14th century, when it is mentioned in written sources for the first time. During the 17th century it belonged to the De la Gardie family, including Privy Councilor Jacob De la Gardie (1583–1652).{{cite web|url= https://sok.riksarkivet.se/sbl/Presentation.aspx?id=17379 |title= Jakob P.
