Beckershov, Manor house in Katrineholm Municipality, Sweden.
Beckershov is a manor house standing on a peninsula beside Lake Tisnaren, featuring a two-story main building with separate wings designed by architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell. The property spreads across the landscape with multiple historical structures that preserve the original design plan.
The estate was originally called Ramninge and was donated to Julita Monastery in 1392 by nobleman Olof Odbjörnsson. In the 1600s, Carl Becker acquired the property and left his mark on it, leading to its later transformation under Gjörwell's architectural vision.
The estate contains a Moorish pavilion from the 1800s known as the Turkish kiosk, situated on a nearby island and reflecting the artistic tastes of its former owners. This exotic building represents the fascination with oriental design that appealed to people of wealth during that era.
The property offers accommodations and meeting spaces for visitors along with recreational activities on the grounds. The lakeside location makes it easy to explore the surrounding areas and enjoy water-related activities.
The property preserves two red worker's cottages with original shed buildings along the eastern approach road, showing the historical estate layout. These modest structures offer insight into the daily lives of those who worked the property.
