Tosterup Castle

The castle includes a five-story defense tower in the southeastern corner, connected to the main structure by a stone bridge over a surrounding moat.

Dating from the 1300s, the castle underwent major construction in the 1500s under Tage Axelsson Brahe, who added an entrance vault with a tunnel into the courtyard.

The castle played a role in scientific history when Jörgen Tygesen Brahe brought his nephew Tycho Brahe here, leading to the latter's astronomical career.

The castle remains a private residence owned by the Ehrensvärd family since 1992 and does not offer public access to its interior or grounds.

The castle tower once served as a navigation point for ships, displaying a warning lantern to protect vessels from coastal dangers.
