Klagstorps herrgård, Manor house in Skövde Municipality, Sweden
Klagstorps herrgård is a manor in Skövde Municipality with stone wings where the eastern section represents an earlier construction period and the western part was modified during the 1750s. The estate contains multiple structures spanning different eras, including an 1876 granary, a 1904 barn, and additional farm buildings that reflect its long agricultural use.
In the 15th century, the property belonged to the church and the bishop of Skara before passing into the hands of several noble families. This changing ownership shaped the site's development and use throughout the centuries.
The property served as a training ground for farming methods and attracted students seeking knowledge in agriculture. This educational mission shaped how the site was used and organized for generations.
The site is located in a rural setting and is best explored on your own. Various buildings can be viewed from outside, and it helps to gather some background information beforehand to understand the historical differences between the structures.
The noted historian Harald Hjärne was born here in 1848 and went on to shape Swedish historical scholarship. Decades later, engineer Hjalmar Nobel also briefly owned the property, connecting it to industrial and intellectual circles.
