Katholm Castle, Renaissance manor house in Norddjurs Municipality, Denmark.
Katholm Castle is a Renaissance manor house in Norddjurs that sits on a raised bank overlooking an artificial lake. The structure has three brick wings with two capped corner towers, arranged around a central courtyard.
Thomas Fasti began construction of the current structure in 1588, finishing the east wing first and then the north wing in 1591. The phased building approach reveals how such major projects unfolded over several years.
The property's layout reflects how the Danish landed gentry organized their homes and working lands together in one place. The bridge connecting the residence to the farm buildings shows how daily life mixed family living with managing agricultural activities.
The residence remains a private family home belonging to the fourth generation of the Collet family. Note that this is an occupied private property and is not open to the public for visits.
A masonry bridge within the courtyard connects the residence to former farm buildings, marking where living quarters ended and work spaces began. This link shows how closely homes and agricultural operations were intertwined at such estates.
