Ulvåsa, Manor house and architectural ensemble near Lake Boren, Sweden

Ulvåsa is a mansion by Lake Boren outside Motala in Östergötland. The present main building was begun in the 16th century, and a third floor was added in the early 19th century, giving it its current architecture. The estate is a private residence, but a walking trail circles the mansion and leads through an English park open to the public all year.

Ulvåsa has occupied three sites: the medieval manor at Birgittas udde, where Saint Bridget lived; Gamlegården at today's Brittås; and the present site, formerly Hamra village. In 1569 Anna Sture and Hogenskild Bielke moved the main farm here. The current mansion was begun in the 16th century, and a third floor was added in the early 19th century.

The site holds a connection to Saint Bridget of Sweden, who lived at a medieval manor nearby, leaving behind stone ruins that still mark the landscape. This spiritual heritage adds depth to the character of the property today.

The mansion itself is a private residence and cannot be visited. A walking trail circles it and passes through the English park, which is open to the public all year round.

Ulvåsa has stood on three sites: first at Birgittas udde, then at Gamlegården on the rise now called Brittås, and finally at Hamra village, where the main building was moved after Anna Sture married Hogenskild Bielke in 1569. All three sites remain part of the estate's lands.
