Katholm Castle

The castle stands on an elevated bank surrounded by an artificial lake, featuring three wings constructed in red brick with two capped corner towers.

Thomas Fasti initiated the construction of the current structure in 1588, completing the east wing first, followed by the north wing in 1591.

Wilhelm Dinesen, father of renowned writer Karen Blixen, spent his childhood years at Katholm Castle during the nineteenth century.

The castle functions as a private residence under the ownership of Marie Therese Collet, representing the fourth generation of the Collet family.

The central courtyard connects to former farm buildings through a masonry bridge, marking the transition between residential and agricultural spaces.
