Sostrup Castle, Renaissance castle in Gjerrild parish, Central Jutland, Denmark

Sostrup is a Renaissance-era castle in Central Jutland positioned on a rectangular plot of land west of a meadow. The main building is accompanied by various structures, and the entire property is surrounded by farmland and woodland that are part of the estate.

The estate received its first written record in 1388, though the current main building was constructed between 1599 and 1606. Following the Renaissance period, the property passed through various owners who introduced different changes and uses over the centuries.

The property now serves visitors as an event and accommodation destination set within rolling countryside. The buildings show how different periods have shaped the place, and guests can sense this layering as they explore the rooms and grounds.

The property works well for events and overnight stays with various room options throughout the buildings. Visitors should note that reaching it involves traveling on rural roads, and the grounds are best explored on foot at an unhurried pace.

The grounds rest on what was once a seabed that connected Denmark and Sweden in prehistoric times. King Christopher II pawned the property when it was still called Svorttorp back in 1327, making it one of the oldest documented estates in the region.
