Ålhult, Manor house in Vimmerby Municipality, Sweden.

Ålhult is a manor house set among the forests and lakes of Småland, displaying traditional Swedish architecture with gardens spread across the property. The buildings and surrounding grounds reflect the layout of a working country estate from an earlier period.

Ålhult is first documented in a sale deed of 6 January 1358, when Karl Haraldsson (Gren) held it; his son Harald Karlsson Stubbe, a knight and lawman of Öland, gave it to his wife Ingegärd Laurenzadotter as a morning gift on 11 June 1398. In 1608 Anna Åkesdotter Bååt married Axel Oxenstierna, and the 1647 land registers list Ålhult among his estates. Carl Fredrik Pechlin, owner from 1755, ran a brickworks, ironworks and sawmill on the estate; the present main building by Lake Ören dates from 1815.

The name Ålhult is documented in variants Aalhult and Åhlhult. Carl Fredrik Pechlin, owner from 1755, gave the estate its heyday: he built a brickworks and an ironworks by the Vervelån ravine, whose mark was a rearing lion with a split tail. He also donated the altarpiece and two chandeliers to Södra Vi church.

Ålhult lies just east of Gullringen in Södra Vi parish, Vimmerby Municipality, near the shore of Lake Ören. The main building stood empty awaiting restoration as of 2012, so visitors should view the manor from outside rather than expect a museum. The grounds are private; check access before walking the former estate lands.

The ironworks Carl Fredrik Pechlin built by the Vervelån ravine had two hearths and a hammer, and its bar iron was stamped with a rearing lion with a cloven tail. The ore was bog iron dug at Krön, worked until the mid-19th century.
