Experience the evolution of a historic estate from a planned widow's residence to a center for ecology, yoga, and spiritual growth.

Tullesbo, also known as Thulisbo, Thulesbo, Tulesbo, has roots in the Middle Ages as a seat estate and was first mentioned in writing in the mid-1300s. Hans Ramel purchased the estate in 1753 and completed the construction of the castle in 1780. Since the mid-1700s, Tullesbo has had the same owners as Övedskloster, the Ramel family.

The castle features white-painted facades and a brick mansard roof, designed with two stories plus a basement level. There are also two one-story wings placed symmetrically around a courtyard. Although the castle was originally built as an änkesäte, it was never actually used as one.

In 2006, the castle was sold to new owners who created a large equestrian facility. In 2014, it was sold again and is now the seat for the Center for Evolutionary Consciousness, an international center for ecology, yoga, and spiritual life development.
