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.
The estate became significant in 1769 when Governor Per Abraham Örnsköld moved there following his marriage to Ulrika Eleonora von Berchner, the owner's daughter. His residency marked the beginning of agricultural innovations that shaped the property's role in Swedish farming development.
The buildings reflect traditional Swedish construction methods, using timber treated with linseed oil before receiving exterior covering for protection against decay.
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.
Örnsköld introduced potato cultivation experiments at the property during a time when the crop was virtually unknown in Sweden. These early trials helped establish the potato as a significant agricultural resource in the region.
