Tisenhult, Manor house in Finspång Municipality, Sweden
Tisenhult is a manor house in Finspång Municipality featuring a central residence with two attached wing buildings. The property includes two additional square pavilions positioned along the approach drive.
Tisenhult is a säteri in Skedevi socken with roots back to the Middle Ages; in the late 1400s it belonged to Jöns Pedersson Hård. Before 1570 Arvid Björnsson owned it, then Måns Eriksson Ulfsparre (d. 1595), and in 1610 his son Johan Ulfsparre. In 1815 or 1816 the estate was sold to Major Ernst Reinhold von Post, and from 1917 to 1927 it belonged to Axel Gregory Lilliehöök. From 1960 to 2002 Gunnar and Gerd de Verdier owned Tisenhult.
The estate's name survives in local tradition through the Berchnerska promenaden, a tree-lined avenue planted while the von Berchner family held Tisenhult. According to local stories, the von Berchner sisters rode along it, sometimes wearing the local folk costume. The site of the older farm Rom, long merged into the estate, is now remembered only by its name.
The estate sits about 10 kilometers east of Hävla on the southern shore of Lake Tisnaren in a setting that blends rural landscape with water views. Walking around the grounds allows visitors to see the arrangement of buildings and their relationship to the surrounding countryside.
The estate's name survives in part through Rom, an older farm long absorbed into Tisenhult; tradition holds that monks from Julita Abbey, who held fishing rights at the outlet of Lake Tisnaren, first established it. The site of Rom is now known only by name.
