Ransäters bruksherrgård, even called Geijersgården, is a mansion and Erik Gustaf Geijer's birthplace located at Ransäter in Värmland, Sweden. There is a museum in the main building of the mansion.
Earlier Ransäter was an ironwork. It was built in the 17th century by mayor Johan Börjesson who later also built Munkfors work. The ironwork had three bar iron hammers which were closed in the end of the 19th century. The work was bought by Erik Gustaf Geijer's grandfather, later it was sold by his younger brother Emanuel in 1817 to Barthold Dahlgren, the father of the author Fredrik August Dahlgren. Later Fredrik August Dahlgren got married to a sister daughter of Erik Gustaf Geijer.
Geijersgården was sold to Forshaga sulfit AB, but in 1907 the Geijer family bought it. The farm was a long and white-painted 1-floor-woodbuilding. The building was demolished and in the summer of 1914 a new building was built by parts of the old building. Today Geijersgården is a museum of Erik Gustaf Geijer, Fredrik August Dahlgren and the painter Uno Troili.
