Klagstorps herrgård, Manor house in Skövde Municipality, Sweden

Klagstorps herrgård is a manor in Norra Kyrketorps parish, Skövde Municipality, 10 km south of Skövde. Its two-storey timber main house with a säteritak roof dates stylistically to around 1700, with empire-era panelling from the early 1800s. Of the two stone wings, the eastern is older, while the western, with its high mansard roof, may have taken its form in the mid-to-late 1700s. Farm buildings include a four-storey timber granary from 1876, a barn over 100 metres long from 1904, and a stable later converted into a machine workshop in 1923.

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 agricultural school founded here in 1863 was run by the Skaraborg County Agricultural Society, with Ivar Insulander as principal from 1870 to 1876. The name was written as Claestorp in the 19th century, sometimes as Klastorp. The school closed in 1963, after which the estate passed to the state and the army.

The manor lies about 10 km south of Skövde in Norra Kyrketorps parish, and since 1963 it has formed part of a military training area, so access is limited. The main building and wings are best seen from outside; the 1876 timber granary, the 1904 barn and the 1923 stable-turned-workshop stand on the former farm grounds.

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.
