Barsebäck Castle, Renaissance castle in Barsebäck, Sweden

The castle rises three stories high near the shore of Öresund, featuring Dutch Renaissance architecture with characteristic elements of Scanian castle design.

Initially constructed in the 12th century, the castle underwent substantial renovations in 1889 and 1940, resulting in the current architectural configuration.

The castle represents the architectural preferences of Swedish nobility, incorporating Renaissance design principles that dominated aristocratic residences in southern Sweden.

Located at coordinates 55.775695 latitude and 12.951539 longitude, the castle remains private property and does not allow public access to its grounds.

After the Scanian War, the Swedish Crown confiscated the castle from the Thott family before Colonel Gustaf David Hamilton purchased it in 1743.
