[Swedish]

1283 nämns Höjentorp för första gången, som "Hognathorp". Året där på skänktes gården till biskop Brynolf I Skara av Magnus Johansson Engel. Den första kungligheten som besökte Höjentorp lär ha varit hertig Erik Magnusson år 1317. Under reformationen på 1530-talet drogs Höjentorp in till kronan och blev därigenom en kungsgård. Kungsgårdar var storgårdar som skulle fungera som stödjepunkter för den statliga byråkratin och militärapparaten. De kungliga besöken blev delvis täta. Både Gustav Vasa och senare Johan III vistades gärna på gården. Medeltidslottet raserades av danska trupper 1566 och ett jaktslott byggdes på grunden. Magnus Gabriel De la Grardies hustru Maria Euphrosyne fick slottet i bröllopsgåva av sin kusin drottning Kristina. Slottet brann ner till grunden 1722 och blev aldrig återuppbyggt.

Placera burken på samma sätt som du fann den. D.v.s. så den inte ramlar ner

[English]

Höjentorp is mentioned for the first time in the year 1283. During the middle ages the castle was owned by different noblemen and even for a time by the Bishop of Skara. The estate was taken by the Crown and became a Crown estate during the 1530's as part of the reformation movement .The medieval castle was demolished by marauding Danish troops in 1566. The large baroque castle was built about 1660 by Count Magnus Gabriel De la Gardie. His wife Maria Euphrosyne had received Höjentorp as a wedding present from her cousin Queen Kristina of Sweden. In 1722 the castle burnt to the ground and was never rebuilt.

Rehide the stash as you found it, placed it in such a manner that it don’t fall down.
