Herrevad Abbey, Medieval abbey and castle in Ljungbyhed, Sweden
The stone structure combines Romanesque and Gothic architectural elements, featuring sandstone walls and remnants of the original monastery complex near the Rønne River.
Founded in 1144 as Denmark's first Cistercian monastery, Herrevad Abbey operated until 1565 before transitioning to crown ownership during the Protestant Reformation.
The site hosted astronomer Tycho Brahe's scientific experiments in the late 16th century, including observations of the 1572 supernova and paper production studies.
The castle section now functions as residential apartments, offering modern living spaces within a historical setting near Ljungbyhed's urban amenities.
Archaeological excavations in the 1980s revealed the original choir foundations and nave sections, providing insights into medieval monastic architecture.
