Torup Castle, Renaissance castle in Svedala Municipality, Sweden

The red brick and gray stone castle stands within a 610-hectare estate that includes traditional outbuildings and an extensive beech forest nature reserve.

Constructed between 1530 and 1540 under the direction of Görvel Fadersdotter Sparre, the castle underwent substantial restoration work from 1602 to 1630.

The interior design combines classic Swedish architectural elements with influences from different periods, including features from the Arts and Crafts movement.

Visitors can access the castle park daily from 8 AM to 8 PM during summer months and 8 AM to 6 PM in winter, with guided tours available throughout the year.

A tragic rowing accident in 1775 resulted in the death of four nobles when their boat capsized in the castle lake, making headlines across Sweden.
