Christinehof Castle, Baroque castle in Tomelilla Municipality, Sweden

The white stone castle displays tall windows, symmetrical wings, and ornate decorations across its German Baroque facade, standing prominently in the Swedish countryside.

Christina Piper, widow of Swedish official Carl Piper, commissioned the construction of this castle between 1737 and 1740, replacing the former Sjöstrup estate.

The castle grounds integrate formal gardens with natural landscapes, representing the 18th-century Swedish nobility's approach to environmental design and agricultural management.

Visitors can explore the castle interior through guided tours, which operate regularly from spring through autumn and include access to the surrounding Christinehof Ecopark.

The castle combines two merged medieval estates, Kolstrup and Sjöstrup, which united in 1387 to form the Andrarum estate that Christina Piper later purchased.
