Gyllebo Manor, Medieval castle in Simrishamn Municipality, Sweden.
Gyllebo Manor is a manor house with classical architecture, decorative woodwork, gables, and a central building surrounded by landscaped gardens. The grounds are used for events and guided tours, allowing visitors to explore specific areas during designated times.
The original fortress Gyllebohus was built between 1538 and 1544 and was one of Scania's largest fortifications until fire destroyed it. The current manor house was later built on the site and has shaped the grounds ever since.
The property reflects how Swedish nobility lived through its design and the Schönström family's long connection to the land. Visitors can sense this link to regional history in the buildings themselves.
The grounds are open for visits during specific times, and guided tours help visitors understand the history and architecture. It is helpful to check in advance when tours are available, as the manor operates as an event venue.
Christina Beata Dagström managed the estate independently from 1713 to 1754, even though laws required married women to register their properties under their husbands' names. Her independence was remarkable for a woman of her era.
