Located by Lake Syningen in Rimbo parish, Norrtälje Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden, Ekebyholm was initially connected to the Mörby estate owned by the Slaveka family with Pomeranian origins. The first to acquire both Ekebyholm and Mörby was Bengt Gabrielsuon (Oxenstierna) af Mörby (d. 1591), who separated them and passed them to his posthumous son, Bengt Bengtson Oxenstierna, who built his manor at Ekebyholm. notable Oxenstierna owners included Bengt Claesson Horn, Field Marshal and Barön, who owned the manor, and his son, Brigadier, Barön Christer Horn, who also owned it. In 1724, Count Arvid Horn, Premier of Sweden, purchased the estate. It remained within the Horn family until the late 1800s. In 1828, Baron Karl Gabriel (Oxenstierna) reacquired Ekebyholm. Today, Ekebyholmsskolan, an Adventist school, occupies the site.
