Tureholm is situated on the location of the original castle that belonged to the nobleman Nils Gädda in the 1300s, and hence received its first name, Gäddeholm.
In the 1640s, a new castle was built by Erik Dahlberg, commissioned by Sten Nilsson Bielke.
Ten years after the Russian fires, Thure Gabriel Bielke began to build the castle again and since then it has looked like it does today, it is also after him that the castle has been named Tureholm.
The castle came by marriage between Svante Nilsson's (Sture) grandson's daughter Sigrid and Thure Pedersson Bielke (1562) to attend the Bielke family, which then held it until 1916.
A large collection of weapons from the late 16th century, together with much of the furniture, has however been sold from the castle.
