The dynastic history of Lindholms herrgård

Lindholms herrgård is a manor and former seat and fideikommiss located in Barva parish, Eskilstuna municipality, Södermanland County. Situated between Strängnäs and Eskilstuna, approximately two kilometers south of the E20, the estate features a main house constructed in 1794 in neoclassical style. The architecture, designed by Eric Nordewall, includes a corps de logi with two freestanding wings and a main building characterized by a nine-window axis and a metal-clad hip roof with a small clock tower.

The estate's history dates back to 1310 when it was part of Söderby. It eventually passed to the King, Karl Knutsson (Bonde), and later to the Vasa family. By the 16th century, it belonged to the Brahe family via Margareta Eriksdotter, sister of Gustav Vasa. The property moved to the Bergshammar family before passing to Christia Sparre in 1645. In 1679, it was separated and given to Catharina Sack, who later married Herman Fleming. It remained in the Fleming family until 1763, when it was purchased by Nils Nilsson Bonde af Björnö, who commissioned the current corps de logi.

Today, Lindholms herrgård manages a modern agricultural operation including 360 hectares of grain production, 80 hectares of hay, and 150 hectares of pasture. The estate also encompasses 1,000 hectares of forestry and 2,000 hectares of hunting activity. The property has been managed by the Celsing family since 1835, and ownership currently resides with Martina Ulricsdotter Schagerlund and Olov Schagerlund.
