Kavlås Castle, Manor house in Tidaholm Municipality, Sweden.

Kavlås Castle is a three-storey manor house in Hömbs parish, Tidaholm Municipality, on a ridge by the Ösan near Hömbs church village. Its main building was raised between 1750 and 1775 in brick on a sandstone base, with white and red plastered facades and a hipped mansard roof of sheet metal above and single-pitched clay tiles below. The three-winged farmyard includes a wooden barn and granite cattle and stable ranges built in 1863 to drawings by Charles Emil Löfvenskiöld.

Kavlås is first recorded at the end of the 14th century and belonged in the 16th century to the Natt och Dag family of Göksholm. The estate passed by purchase in 1723 to the baronial von Essen family, which still owns it. The present main building was erected between 1750 and 1775 under Fredric Ulric von Essen, and the corps-de-logi was listed as a building monument in 1978.

The estate has belonged to the baronial von Essen family since 1723 and is still owned by it. From Kavlås comes the Kavlås apple, the landscape apple of Västergötland. A steam dairy ran on the farm from 1850 to 1961, and Kavlås had its own station on the Hjo–Stenstorp Railway.

Kavlås is a private estate still owned by the von Essen family, so the house and grounds are not open to visitors. The castle stands on a ridge by the Ösan near Hömbs church village, and the 1863 granite farm wings by Charles Emil Löfvenskiöld can be seen from outside.

The estate gave its name to the Kavlås apple, which is the provincial apple of Västergötland. The fruit originated at Kavlås and is a detail visitors rarely connect with the manor.
