The building was designed in the National Romantic style, and was constructed between 1909 and 1915. The architecture was influenced by the Castles of the Vasa era, and it bears a resemblance to Vadstena Castle.

A fire ravaged the third floor of the south/left wing of the building in June 2008.[1]
