History+
The origins of Tureholm Castle date back to 1383, when Nils Gädda is mentioned as the first known owner of the then Gäddeholm Castle. The estate changed hands within the Gädda family and later, through marriage, to the Sture family, including Sten Sture the Younger and his wife Christina Gyllenstierna. In 1567, ownership passed to Sigrid Sture and her husband Ture Pedersson Bielke. A reconstruction of the castle took place in 1576. Between 1665 and 1672, the castle was redesigned according to plans by Erik Dahlbergh. A destruction occurred in 1719 by Russian troops, after which the castle was rebuilt between 1729 and 1747 under the direction of Carl Hårleman. In 1740, it received its current name, Tureholm, from Thure Gabriel Bielke. Later alterations included the replacement of the west wing between 1796 and 1799, as well as repairs and renovations from 1853 to 1855.
