Björksund Castle (Björksunds slott) is a castle-like manor house in Sweden. Björksund located on Sibbofjärden, northeast of Nyköping in Södermanland County, Sweden.[1]

History

The Björksund estate first belonged to the Grip family, but came in the late Middle Ages through marriage to the Privy Councilor Göran Eriksson Gyllenstierna (1498-1575) of Fågelvik. The estate remained in his family until 1776, when it partly passed by purchase to Count Carl Gabriel Mörner (1737-1828), heir to the Privy Council member and Marshal of the Realm Göran Gyllenstierna (1724–1799). [2]

The manor house was built in Baroque style during 1727. It was designed by French-Swedish architect Joseph Gabriel Destain (died in 1740). Additions in the 1740s were by Baron Carl Hårleman (1700–1753).[3][4]

The estate covers 4,700 hectares (12,000 acres) and large areas of the archipelago. Björksund Förvaltnings AB also manages a number of properties in Nyköping. [5]
