Time speaks in favour of Thoresta

We, as humans, have a tendency to appreciate a really good story like the one about Thoresta Manor, which is located in a region full of ancient monuments from the Stone Age and the Iron Age. The Manor´s original name, Thorlastum, probably originates from Thorleif or Thorlaf together with stadhir or stadh and is recorded first time in 1349.

During the 1500s the Manor was owned by the de la Gardie family, after king Johan III had donated the Manor to Pontus de la Gardie, his own son-in-law. Around 1780 Christer Posse erected a large main building or “corps de logi” and two wings where the Manor is located today. In 1835 the large main building was moved to Norrköping, where it was rebuilt stone by stone and instead one of the wings was reconstructed as a main building.

During most of the 1900s Thoresta was owned by the Wingårdh family, and served as a private home until 1982, when Thoresta was opened as a conference hotel under private management.
