Högestad Castle, Stone castle in Ystad Municipality, Sweden
The two-story stone castle features distinct stairwells and stands as a prominent structure within the agricultural landscape of Skåne County.
During the Middle Ages, the Archbishop of Lund owned the estate until Danish statesman Palle Rosenkrantz acquired it in 1635 to build the main structure.
The castle represents the architectural evolution of Swedish nobility residences through different periods, from religious control to private ownership.
Visitors should note that the castle grounds, located at Högestavägen 522 in Ystad, do not accommodate wheelchair access.
The property operates as one of the largest agricultural estates in Sweden, maintaining its original purpose across centuries of ownership changes.
