Skabersjö Castle, Medieval castle in Svedala Municipality, Sweden.

Skabersjö Castle is a two-storey main building with two single-storey wings, set on an islet surrounded by canals just south of the E65 between Malmö and Svedala. The white-plastered facades have a steep red-tiled roof, dark brick chimneys and rows of tall windows with green shutters below smaller upper windows. Inscriptions read "ANNO 1717" and "TTIG 1643"; a low stone wall with white piers and a gateway stands at the base.

The medieval main building, with ramparts, towers and moats, was burned in 1523 by the people of Malmö during the siege of their city by Scanian nobles headquartered at Skabersjö. Holger Ulfstand rebuilt it as a fortified castle. Governor Tage Thott had it thoroughly rebuilt between 1775 and 1782, giving it its present form.

The name Skabersjö appears in medieval records as Skaprusæ and Skabersiö, suggesting the estate once stood by a lake. The Thott family, who acquired it in 1600 through Tage Ottesen Thott, held it for generations; Governor Tage Thott made it an entailed estate in 1805 and it became the county of the Thott family when he was made a count in 1807.

The castle sits southeast of Malmö and can only be visited by prior arrangement with the Skabersjö gods AB foundation. Plan ahead to arrange a visit.

The renovations between 1775 and 1782 were so extensive that the castle completely changed its medieval appearance. This phase shaped the building more than its original construction over 200 years before.
