History

Fredrik von Otter is the third generation of his family to manage Vastanå Manor and the ninth generation owner. Västanå Castle was built around 1590 by Count Sten Bielke. In 1641, Count Per Brahe became the new owner. He incorporated Västanå into Brahe County, the first and largest county in Sweden at the time. Västanå was restored 1767–1770 by the Baron Rutger Bennet and the stair-tower and baroque gables were torn down. The present owner is a decendent of Colonel Fredric Gyllensvaan who bought the manor in 1785 and established an entailed estate. In 1928, he demolished the third floor and the castle acquired its present exterior.
