Located by Lake Syningen in Rimbo parish, Norrtälje Municipality, Stockholm County, Ekebyholm was initially connected to the Mörby estate owned by the Slaveka family with Pomeranian origins. Bengt Gabrielson (Oxenstierna) af Mörby (d. 1591) acquired the estates of Mörby and Ekebyholm. These were separated, with Mörby passing to his elder son Gabriel Bengtsson Oxenstierna (1586–1656) and Ekebyholm passing to his youngest, posthumous son Bengt Bengtson Oxenstierna (1591–1643), who first had the manor built at Ekebyholm.
Owners included Field Marshal, baron Bengt Claesson Horn (1623–1678) and Brigadier, baron Christer Horn (c. 1655–1740) and his siblings. In 1724, Count Arvid Horn, Premier of Sweden, purchased the estate. Count Adam Horn (1717–1778) and his siblings followed, while Katriina Ebba Horn (1720–1781) purchased Ekebyholm in 1746.
In 1828, Baron Karl Gabriel (Oxenstierna) acquired Ekebyholm. In 1932, the Adventist school purchased the property. Presently, Ekebyholmsskolan is located on site.
