Højriis Castle, Manor house in Sallingsund, Denmark

The castle consists of three wings encircled by moats, with the northwest wing and tower constructed in 1859 followed by additional wings in 1876.

The initial records of Højriis Castle date back to the early 15th century when knight Johan Skarpenberg, serving Queen Margrethe I, owned the property.

The castle's Historicist architectural style, designed by Hans Jørgen Holm and August Klein, represents Danish manor house construction techniques of the 19th century.

The estate spans 434 hectares and remains under ongoing restoration efforts to maintain its structural integrity and historical features.

The castle remained uninhabited for nearly 130 years, from 1865 until 1994, during a period of economic challenges affecting Danish manors.
