HISTORIC BACKGROUND

Orremåla is first mentioned in a will dating back to 1406, leaving the land to the Vadstena Abbey .

Legend has it that the leader of the strong upraise in 1542-1523 Nils Dacke, rebelling the king Gustav Wasa (1496-1560), fought a battle from Dackeberget against the kings men at Kungsberget, both places located on the premises.

During the reformation the land was reclaimed by farmers. In the turbulent 18th century when Sweden was at war, the estate was used by the Vifolka regement to provide for their officers. The current buildings built in 1820-1840, date from the empire period. The main building was destroyed in a fire in 1954 and later rebuilt in a new style.

By the turn of the last century the estate flourished featuring its own mill, saw, smoker and dairy farming. Orremåla was inhabited by over 100 people at this time in history, most of which lived in cottages. Several cottages remain, although most are torn down and its building material used for other purposes for example the barn.
