The estate were the current Ericsberg Palace is situated is mentioned under the name Pintorp or Pinnatorp in 1508, when the nobleman Knut Nilsson of Bosgård sold it to lady Anna Karlsdotter, widow of Erik Eriksson Gyllenstierna the Younger.

In the 17th-century, the current building was erected and the estate renamed Ericsberg by Beata von Yxkull after her spouse, Erik Karlsson Gyllenstierna.

Beata von Yxkull managed the estate for many years during the absence and later the death of her spouse, and has been pointed out as one of the role models of the infamous Pintorpafrun.

The current Ericsberg Palace was riksråd baron Erik Karlsson Gyllenstierna's (1602-1657) and was completed by his widow Beata von Yxkull (1618-1667).

It is a private library founded by baron Carl Jedvard Bonde, who in 1843 acquired 3 500 volumes concerning the history of Sweden, topography and Nordic antiquities.
