Ulvsby herrgård is a manor with a long and exciting history
It is said that Queen Kristina once assigned the manor to her nobility, but later changed her mind because she wanted the possibility to enjoy Ulvsby herrgård herself. And this is truly a place to enjoy; here, people have met for parties and to good food since the 17th century. Today, people are still enjoying Ulvsby herrgård through its excellent cuisine, relaxing conference spaces, and of course a party or two.
In her story about Gösta Berling, Selma Lagerlöf called the manor Länsmansgården, which was also its official name until recently. In the 19th century, the manor was home to Sheriff Wahlstrand, the man who inspired Lagerlöf's story. Of course, the sheriff needed a jailhouse, and in modern days the cells of the jailhouse were turned into comfortable hotel rooms. Unfortunately, the old jailhouse burned to the ground in 2016. It is being replaced by a new building, beautifully decorated in manor style. All of the new rooms have a view of lake Fryken.
Today, Ulvsby herrgård has 34 rooms. The manor invites you to relax in the beautiful surroundings. Enjoy a game of boule, a steam bath in the wood-fire sauna, or a book from the manor's library. Of course, you will find Selma Lagerlöf's books there, as well as many other classics and new books.
Ulvsby herrgård has several conference rooms, fully equipped and comfortable.
