In 1670, when the manor had been inherited by the son Gabriel Gabrielsson Oxenstierna, King Charles XI of Sweden and the Queen Dowager Hedvig Eleonora of Holstein-Gottorp came for a visit.The castle has undergone extensive renovation and housed Sveriges Radios Musikskola (the music school of the Swedish National Radio).
