Rössjöholm Castle

Rössjöholm is a manor house in Ängelholm Municipality built in 1731 with a single-story main building and two wings. The property sits among beech forests and lakes in the southern Swedish countryside.

A medieval fortress with seven towers once stood here and was besieged by Swedish forces from Helsingborg during the Scanian War in 1676. The current manor house was later built as a replacement, representing the shift from a military stronghold to a peaceful estate.

The estate shows how a rural community worked in the 1600s, with worker cottages surrounding the main house. Visitors can still see how people lived and worked together on the land during that era.

The property offers paths to explore through forests and lake areas for visitors to walk around and take in the surroundings. Plan visits according to the season and weather, as the grounds are natural and spread out.

Swedish author Frans G. Bengtsson spent his childhood here when his father worked as the estate manager. This experience shaped his later writings about rural life and Swedish history.
