Ingemarstorp, Herrenhaus in Schweden
Ingemarstorp is a farm and manor house in Åsbo, Boxholm Municipality, situated next to the Svartån river southwest of Linköping. The main building took its present form in 1923, while the estate includes various structures that served both residential and working purposes over the years.
Ingemarstorp was first recorded in the 16th century as a working farm. It became a manor estate under General Per Andersson Linderoth in the late 1600s, though this status ended in 1680, after which it passed through many different owners over the following centuries.
The name Ingemarstorp refers to the old farm layout that has evolved over centuries. The buildings and grounds show how families have shaped this land through everyday work and care, making it a reflection of rural Swedish traditions.
The estate is a private residence, so visits are limited and may require advance permission from the owners. The surrounding landscape of fields, woods, and the river offers opportunities to walk through the area and appreciate the natural setting.
During the 1920s renovation, workers replaced simple radiator valves with brass castle knobs to improve the house's appearance, showing how much care went into historic details. The nearby community of Strålsnäs was built on land that once belonged to Ingemarstorp, revealing how this single farm's history shaped the entire neighborhood.
