Before the acquisition by the von Hofsten family [sv], the estate's owner was Elisabeth Hansdotter Funck. Funck then sold the estate to Bengt Erland von Hofsten, whose descendants would keep on living at the estate for several generations.[2] The current-standing white-colored wooden manor was built and completed in 1752, together with two side buildings that underwent demolishment in 1917. Furthermore, the estate also includes a gazebo, "Diana's Temple", built in the 1830s.[1]
In 1924, the manor house got acquired by Domänverket[1] and in 1942 by the Swedish Armed Forces.
Villingsberg Manor was listed as Swedish historical memorial building in 1947.[3][1] Its current client is the Swedish Fortifications Agency,[1] and it was renovated in 2007.[4]
