In Uppland, central Sweden, Rånäs Manor was built in the 1850s as a residence for the Reuterskiöld family, designed by Per Axel Nyström. Replacing a 17th-century manor demolished for the current structure, the manor is known for its 1774 charter which allowed for the production of 1,500 ship pounds of bar iron annually.
Following the 1932 Krueger Crash, the manor was sold to the Municipality of Stockholm and used as a mental hospital until 1985. In 1996, the manor was acquired by two private individuals for restoration, and since 1998, Rånäs Manor serves as a hotel and conference center.
