History

Ljung is noted as a property of not consequence in the early 17th-century. It was bought by baron H. Hamilton in 1642. In 1665, it was bought by the famous writer Agneta Horn (1629–1672).

It was bought by the von Fersen family in 1730.[1] It was owned by the von Fersen family until 1838, and during that time owned by Axel von Fersen the Elder, Hedvig Catharina von Fersen, the famous Axel von Fersen the Younger, Fabian Reinhold von Fersen until the von Fersen family died out in 1839 and Ljung was inherited by Louise von Fersen (1816–1879) and her spouse Carl Gyldenstolpe, who lost in their famous bankrupty, after it was sold on public auction in 1868. It was bought by Claes von Mecklenburg (d. 1890). It was owned by a consortium from 1908, who divided up the land to various owners.

gollark: I mean, I could get a notverysmartphone, sure, but I like being able to use highly advanced features like a "web browser".
gollark: Er, phones now, not phone snow. I don't know what phone snow is and I hope I never have to.
gollark: Its battery seems to have degraded almost to the point of uselessness by now, and it's nonreplaceable, so I've been vaguely looking into replacements, but it turns out that there are no good phone snow.
gollark: I think mine would explode if I tried that.
