Kaggeholm Castle

The site where Kaggeholm Palace is located was first mentioned in a document in 1287. During the 1500s the farm was owned by members of the families Grip and Bååt. The farm was originally called Vettersjö, but was named by Swedish Count Lars Kagg (1595-1661) who bought the manor during 1647. Kagg was a political ally of King Gustavus Adolphus, a member of the Privy Council of Sweden and Field Marshal during the Thirty Years' War.

The chateau-style mansion was built in 1725 and designed by Nicodemus Tessin the Younger. Since 1939 it has been owned by the Swedish Pentecostal movement and is used as a training center by nearby Kaggeholm College.
