Svaneholm Castle

Svaneholm Castle stands on an islet in Lake Svaneholmssjön, featuring original murder-holes in its ancient walls and Renaissance architectural elements.

Danish knight Mourids Jepsen Sparre constructed the castle in the 1530s, relocating it from its previous location near Skurup parish church.

The castle museum presents exhibits about Swedish labor history and agricultural development, documenting regional farming practices through centuries.

The castle maintains regular visiting hours throughout the year, with guided tours available through advance reservations at www.svaneholm-slott.se.

Rutger Macklean implemented agricultural reforms at Svaneholm in 1803, establishing new methods that became standard practice across Scania.
