Ronnums Herrgård dates back to the 1300s. The first owner of Duke Erik, son of Magnus III of Sweden took over the place some 20 years. In the Nordic Seven Years’ War in the late 1500s all the farms were burnt down by the Danes and Norwegians, while local people entrenched on Halleberg. Bengt Svenske who owned the mansion was commissioned by the king to burn and kill in Bohuslän, he went against the king’s commandment and were sentenced til death. He survived by making Ronnums Herrgård in mortgages.

When Arvid Virgin in 1847 sold the estate to Baron Nils Ericson, known railway and canal builder, was the deed of sale to the big bronze bell at each change of ownership would be sold separately. This money went to the poor of the parish. Nils Ericson was also the owner Nygårds property and for many years he leased Ronnums Herrgård to the famous bear-hunter and author Llewlyn Lloyd.
