Ekensholm Castle, Manor house in Flen Municipality, Sweden
Ekensholm is a manor house on the northern shore of Lake Dunkern featuring classic Swedish architecture with a white facade and symmetrical design. The multi-story building sits prominently on the lakeside grounds with manicured estate surroundings.
The present building was constructed in 1827 under commission from Baron Knut Kurck. He had previously played a significant role in Swedish state affairs during the late 18th century.
The manor has been home to various noble families across generations, reflecting its role in regional aristocratic networks. This heritage shapes how the property and grounds are maintained today.
The estate is accessible by regional roads near Flen with clear visibility from the northern lake shores. Parking is available near the entrance drive for visitors arriving by car.
The grounds briefly served as a training facility for Swedish Royal Guard horses, including preparation of the horse named Salut. This unusual use of the historic property was temporary and has since ended.
