During World War II, it operated as a refugee camp and transit center for refugees fleeing Nazi persecution in Norway. From 1960 until 2011 served as a folk high school. Kjesäter has been privately owned since 1981, and the owners run agricultural and forestry operations, property management, conference activities, energy production and hunting.
