Knutstorp Castle, Medieval castle in Kågeröd, Sweden

The stone castle features fortified walls, multiple wings, and architectural elements from the 16th century, situated within extensive grounds in Scania region.

Built in the 1550s by Danish nobleman Otte Brahe, Knutstorp Castle remained under Danish control until 1663 when the Treaty of Roskilde transferred Scania to Sweden.

Notable as the birthplace of astronomer Tycho Brahe in 1546, the castle represents the architectural preferences of Scandinavian nobility during the Renaissance period.

The castle maintains regular opening hours for guided tours, with visitors accessing the property through the main entrance at Knutstorp 1081 in Kågeröd.

Two wings of the castle underwent complete reconstruction after a severe fire in 1956, maintaining the original medieval architectural style.
