Torup Castle, Renaissance castle in Svedala Municipality, Sweden
Schloss Torup is a castle built from red brick and gray stone in the Svedala Municipality region. It sits within a large estate that contains traditional outbuildings and an extensive nature reserve of beech forest.
The castle was built between 1530 and 1540 and was later thoroughly renovated between 1602 and 1630. This major restoration shaped how it looks and is structured today.
The rooms inside show a mix of Swedish architectural styles from different periods, including influences from the Arts and Crafts movement. This blend reflects how the building was adapted and changed over many centuries.
The castle grounds are accessible daily and offer walking paths through the impressive forest landscape. Guided tours are regularly offered and help visitors understand the history and architecture better.
A tragic event from the 18th century marked local history when four noblemen drowned in a boat accident on the castle lake. This disaster became known across Scandinavia at the time.
