Hönsäter, Manor house in Hällekis, Sweden

Hönsäter is a manor house on the northern slope of Kinnekulle near Hällekis in Götene Municipality. Its two-storey stone main building was begun in 1667 under Harald Stake and largely rebuilt in 1806–1807, when the present side wings replaced earlier ones. The estate is a listed building complex.

Construction of Hönsäter began in 1667, establishing a notable presence in the region during a period of architectural advancement in Sweden. The structure has since been preserved and protected through heritage safeguards.

The estate's name is preserved in the Suecia antiqua et hodierna, where the palace is shown with joined wings, storey bands and high hipped roofs. Tradition holds that Harald Stake built the house with only a few master masons, and the engraver Erik Dahlberg may have improved its appearance in that propaganda work. Since 1979 the complex has been a listed building, and today it houses a hotel.

Hönsäter stands at the edge of Hällekis on the northern slope of Kinnekulle, near Vänern. The manor is privately owned and now runs a hotel business, so the grounds and buildings are not open as a public sight; visitors should arrange any stay or visit directly with the hotel before travelling.

The manor received recognition as an individual listed building complex under Swedish heritage preservation laws due to its architectural composition. This designation reflects the significance of the ensemble within regional building traditions.
