Wilhelm von Mörner came from the Swedish branch of the German noble family Mörner and was born in the Gåvetorp manor near Alvesta . His father was the chamberlain Count Bror Wilhelm Mörner, his mother was Laura Groen.

Starting in 1844 as a cadet, von Mörner completed a military career, served as a sub-lieutenant in the Södermanland Regiment from 1852 and was promoted to lieutenant in 1856. Two years later he said goodbye.

From 1855 to 1860 von Mörner studied landscape painting and architecture at the Düsseldorf Art Academy , where he was taught by Rudolf Wiegmann and Hans Fredrik Gude . From 1857 to 1860 and from 1875 to 1911 he was a member of the artists' association Malkasten . In 1858 he showed one of his landscape paintings at an exhibition at the Düsseldorf Academy. In 1878 he took part in an exhibition of the Swedish Art Association Konstföreningen för Södra Sverige . One of his works, the romantic snow landscape På väg till julottan from 1859, ended up in the collection of the Malmö Museum .

In 1868 von Mörner made plans for the renovation and expansion of Kriegshoven Castle , the manor house of which was built according to his design. The manor of Hemmerich Castle , which was partially destroyed by fire in 1869, was also built according to his design . It burned out at the end of World War II . The castle-like house Tauwetter in Siefenfeldchen in Roisdorf , also called "Yellow Castle", was built according to his plans. He lived there since 1873.

His marriage to Eliza and Elise Christine Giesler (1836–1904), the daughter of the wealthy businessman Friedrich Giesler , resulted in four children. His son Hjalmar von Mörner was the district administrator of the Wipperfürth district . In 1893 Mörner received Prussian citizenship while retaining his title of count.
