It was for a long time the seat of the noble Swedish family Bing, between the years 1313–1589.

Anders Bing, who was a Danish "riksråd" (a member of the privy council) was the last in the family to own the estate.

Two years later, another peace treaty was agreed to, the treaty of Copenhagen (1660), and as compensation for the island of Bornholm, the Danish crown turned over 18 estates, owned by Danish noblemen, to the Swedish crown one of which was Smedstorp.

In the early 19th century Smedstorp was once again sold to the general Carl Gustaf von Platen.

[1] In 1820 the estate was bought by the banker and member of parliament Jöns Peter Hemberg.
