Bjertorp Mansion/Palace I

(Swedish: Bjertorp slott) Built: 1911-1914. Architect: Ferdinand Boberg (1860-1946). The first owner was Knut Henrik Littorin, born in 1860. He received his education at Gothenburg University Business Institute and was employed by Alfred Nobel's oil concern in Russia. Investing in Russian oil sources and companies, he created himself a respectable fortune.

The castle was owned by the family Littorin until 1956 when it became the domestic science school for girls. In 1980 a hotel and restaurant was established at the castle and so it is still today.
