Krageholm Castle

Krageholm Castle, Baroque castle in Ystad Municipality, Sweden

Krageholm Castle is a three-storey building with three wings, standing at the south-east end of Krageholmssjön about 10 km north-west of Ystad. It was built in the late 16th century and heavily rebuilt after a fire at the end of the 17th century, and it is surrounded by moats. The long pale yellow facade has rows of tall white-framed windows, a projecting gabled section and brick chimneys along the red tile roofs.

The estate dates to the 14th century and was originally held by the Due family before passing through other noble families including Tott, Brahe, and Marsvin. Each family contributed to the site's development and design over the centuries.

The name shift from Krogholm to Krageholm came in 1704, when Carl Piper bought the estate and gave it a more Swedish-sounding form. Christina Piper (1673–1752) then made the castle her main residence until her death, and the Piper family still owns it today, with a Brahe interlude from 1907 to 1930.

Krageholm lies about 10 km northwest of Ystad, at the southeastern end of Krageholmssjön lake. The estate covers 23,000 dekar, of which 18,500 dekar is cultivated farmland. The castle is surrounded by moats, so the building is best seen from the grounds and the water side.

The estate covers 23,000 dekar, of which 18,500 dekar are cultivated land, and the castle stands at the south-east end of Krageholmssjön, the lake that carries its name. The present building was put up at the end of the 16th century and heavily rebuilt after a fire at the end of the 17th century.
