Göholms House, Manor house in Listerby parish, Ronneby Municipality, Sweden
Göholms House is a stone manor house in Listerby parish, Ronneby Municipality, on the Gö peninsula by the Blekinge coast. Admiral Johan af Puke built it to his own drawings, and it was completed in 1801 on the same stone foundation as an earlier main building that had burned down. A stone tablet above the gate reads that the building was erected in 1799 by Contre Admiral Johan Puke.
Gö is first recorded in 1241 in King Valdemar II's Danish census book. In 1790 Admiral Johan af Puke bought the freehold farms Gjöholm, Kålhöga and Gjö for 6,000 riksdaler and combined them; the previous main building had burned down. He built a stone manor on the old foundation, completed in 1801, with a stone plaque over the gate reading that the building was erected in 1799 by Contre Admiral Johan Puke.
The estate's name comes from the village of Gö, first recorded in King Valdemar's Danish land register of 1241. Since 2003 the manor has belonged to a foundation Stina Werner created in 1996 to support research and education in forestry, agriculture and nature conservation, and Skogssällskapet manages the property.
The manor is privately owned by a foundation set up by Stina Werner in 1996, and the estate is managed by Skogssällskapet; the farmland and pastures are leased to Blekinge Naturbruksgymnasium in Ronneby for teaching. The Puke burial chapel lies within Gö nature reserve by Brunnsviken, at a spot called Brunnslyckan and Oxhagen. In autumn 2009 the county's first marine nature reserve was inaugurated at Göholm.
Johan af Puke's coffin in the estate's burial chapel is made of timber from his ship of the line Dristigheten. The chapel stands within the Gö nature reserve at a spot called Brunnslyckan, next to the site of the older Brunnsvik farm, which was absorbed into the estate in 1794.
