Trollenäs Castle, Renaissance castle in Eslöv Municipality, Sweden
Trollenäs Castle is a red brick castle in Eslöv Municipality, Scania, with a tall central tower under a steep dark hipped roof and slender spire. Lower wings flank the tower, ending in green copper-capped corner turrets, and a lighter stone section with an arched loggia and short columns sits above a broad stone staircase. The building dates from 1559 and was renovated in the late 19th century by architect Ferdinand Meldahl in a French Renaissance style.
Trollenäs is documented from the 14th century and has belonged to only two families, Thott and Trolle. The present building dates from 1559. In the late 19th century the architect Ferdinand Meldahl renovated it to resemble a French Renaissance castle.
The castle has belonged to only two families, Thott and Trolle, and its name joins theirs with the older estate name Näs. Today it is open to the public and hired out for weddings, conferences and dinners, and a café has opened in the park.
The grounds are accessible through a park area and offer café services for visitors. It is worth checking ahead about events happening on your visit date, as it regularly hosts private and business gatherings.
Only two families have owned Trollenäs: the Thott family and the Trolle family, whose name the estate now carries. The castle itself is a 1559 building, remodelled in the late 19th century by the Danish architect Ferdinand Meldahl in a French Renaissance style.
