More information
Godegård is one of the oldest ironworks in Östergötland's Bergslag. Ore was mined and processed here as early as the Middle Ages. In 1775, the property passed to the director of the East India Company, Johan Abraham Grill, who after successful years in China wished for a stately residence.
