Hjuleberg: A Thott Family Legacy in Halland, Sweden

In the heart of a picturesque valley, Hjuleberg Castle looks over the countryside, but the story lies hidden below at Hjuleberg Manor, a 19th-century mansion that was once the main residence of the Thott family, long-time rulers of Halland and owners of Hjuleberg Manor for over five centuries.

Hjuleberg Castle, nestled in a picturesque valley, dominates the surrounding countryside. But beneath the castle lies Hjuleberg Manor, a 19th-century building that was once the main residence of the Thott family. Known for their long reign over Halland, the Thott family traced their ownership of Hjuleberg Manor back to Katarina, who married knight Axel Kettilsson (Tott) and is believed to have possessed the estate as early as 1370.
