Wanås Castle, Medieval castle in Östra Göinge Municipality, Sweden

Wanås Castle is a white-plastered building with a dark red tiled roof, a taller central block with two curved gables and a small tower, and lower flanking wings; the left wing has a rounded corner tower and an entry porch. It stands in Östra Göinge Municipality, about 20 km north of Kristianstad, and its park holds some 70 permanent sculptures and installations.

A stone building ringed by moats is documented in 1440, owned by the squire Eskild Aagesen under the name Watnaas. Burned by Swedish troops during the Northern Seven Years' War, it was rebuilt from 1566 by Sten Bille and his widow Kirsten Lindenov. In 1756 Colonel Carl Axel Hugo Hamilton bought the estate; his wife Betty Jennings added stables, drained the moats and laid out gardens.

The castle grounds have functioned as an art venue since 1987, with contemporary works integrated throughout its historical spaces and outdoor areas. Sculptures and installations appear across the property, creating a dialogue between old structures and modern creative expression.

The grounds are straightforward to explore, with art installations distributed across gardens and around historical buildings. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear since the natural terrain varies in evenness across the property.

Among the roughly 70 permanent works in the park is Ann-Sofi Sidén's Fideicommissum (2000), a bronze sculpture of a woman urinating, placed in the landscape. The collection also includes Maya Lin's 11 Minute Line (2004) and Marina Abramović's The Hunt Chair for Animal Spirits (1998).
