Ekensberg, Manor house in Södertälje Municipality, Sweden

Ekensberg is a manor house in Södertälje Municipality situated on elevated terrain with traditional Swedish architectural features and expansive grounds. The estate displays typical stylistic elements of rural noble residences with main buildings and surrounding land.

Ekensberg was a royal farm called Husaby in the Middle Ages; its ruins lie just north of Överenhörna Church. In 1649 Bengt Ekehjelm founded the säteri and gave it the name Ekensberg. In the 1680s it came under Gripsholm Castle, and under governor Mikael von Törne the estate grew to include farms, a mill, sawmill, brickworks, distillery and orangery; by 1815, 23 torp depended on it against four in the 1720s.

The name comes from Bengt Ekehjelm, who founded the säteri in 1649. The wings housed servants; one gable carries a wind vane dated 1733. A baroque garden laid out in the 1700s once held a pleasure pavilion designed by Carl August Ehrensvärd, now at the Torekällberget museum in Södertälje.

The estate is reached by an avenue running from Överenhörna church, and the buildings stand on private grounds. The main building has belonged to curator Lars Sjöberg since 1975, and much of the land is managed by Ekensbergs Förvaltnings AB. Visitors should arrange access in advance rather than assume the manor or its park is open.

The manor grounds are a designated national interest (riksintresse) for their unusually well-preserved manor setting, not an environmental protection zone. The brickworks that once operated here left large clay pits that are still visible in the terrain. The last works, Nya bruket, ran from 1885 to 1906 and stamped its bricks with the letters EB.
