History
editÖster Malma was built in 1668 according to drawings by Jean De la Vallée (1624-1696) during the ownership of Wilhelm Böös Drakenhielm (1624-1676) and Anna Maria Silfverstierna (1643–1697).[1] Drakenhielm was a royal Chamberlain and Chief Customs Officer who also owned the estates Hanstavik and Stjärnholm in Södermanland. [2] Öster-Malma remained owned by members of the Drakenhielm family until 1738. From 1900, the main building was renovated. After major refurbishment, Öster Malma hotel, restaurant & conference was inaugurated in 2003. [3] The castle has a surrounding wildlife park, which is open every month of the year except for September and is used as a nature preserve as well as an educational park.[4] The castle is currently owned by Svenska Jägareförbundet,[5] known in English as the Swedish Hunters' Association (SHA).
