Gedsholm, Manor house in Ekeby, Bjuv Municipality, Sweden
Gedsholm is a historical building in Bjuv Municipality in Skåne, located near Ekeby along Gedsholmsvägen 46, featuring traditional Swedish architectural design. The property comprises multiple structures and serves as headquarters for a company managing agricultural and forestry operations.
Gedsholm is first mentioned in 1443 and takes its name from the medieval Scanian family Ged, originally being called Geetzholm. The original building is thought to have been a timber-framed fortress surrounded by a moat, of which only the moat remains. Since 1770 the estate has belonged to the Tornérhielm family, and the present corps de logi was built in 1804 in Rococo style.
