Beckershov, Manor house in Katrineholm Municipality, Sweden.
Beckershov is a manor house on a peninsula in Tislången, a nearly cut-off bay of Lake Tisnaren, about ten kilometres southwest of Katrineholm. The two-storey main building, flanked by two detached wings, was designed by Carl Christoffer Gjörwell and given its present appearance in 1867 under Count Mauritz Lewenhaupt.
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 Turkish kiosk on the small island just off the manor was built in 1838 to drawings by architect Carl Christoffer Gjörwell, the same architect behind the 1819 main house. Its Moorish design, added under owner Martin Arfwedson, is a feature visitors can still see from the shore.
The manor lies on a peninsula in Tislången, a nearly cut-off bay of Lake Tisnaren, about ten kilometres southwest of Katrineholm. The eastern approach road passes the cottages Svenstorp and Nästor and the former Beckershof school, built in 1890 and now a private home. The estate runs crayfish farming, hunting, rentals and conferences.
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.
