    The Brahe House was built by the imperial regent Per Brahe in the middle of the 17th century. The castle was originally intended as a pleasure palace.

    In 1645 the plans were changed and it was now to be a widow's residence for Per Brahe's wife. However, she died before it was completed.

    In 1708 the castle was destroyed in a fire and has been dilapidated ever since.

    Brahehus was built by the imperial regent Per Brahe the Younger in the mid-17th century. The palace was originally intended as a pleasure palace. However, the plans were changed in 1645. The palace was intended to be a widow's residence for Per Brahe the Younger's wife, Kristine Katarina Stenbock. She died a few years later, however. The stately palace was instead used as a guesthouse. In 1708, the palace was destroyed in a fire and has since fallen into disrepair. Restoration work was carried out in the 20th century.
