Charlottenlund Castle, Gothic Revival castle in Ystad Municipality, Sweden.
Charlottenlund is a Gothic Revival castle in Ystad Municipality. The building features an open courtyard, a gallery, and balanced proportions characteristic of mid-19th-century European architecture.
Charlottenlund began as part of the Marsvinsholm estate under the name Snårestad's manor. The farm was subdivided in 1841 and bought in 1848 by Count Arvid Posse, who had the present main building erected in 1849 in Gothic Revival style. In 1902 the estate was bought and restored by Danish-born industrialist Jacob Lachmann and his wife Clara; it remains in their descendants' ownership.
The name Charlottenlund was given to the estate after its rebuilding; the castle stands on land that was part of Marsvinsholm and was long called Snårestad's manor. The Lachmann family, who bought it in 1902, gave the estate its present name and kept it in their descendants' hands. The surrounding 664-hectare estate is mainly farmland, with a 122-hectare park.
The castle remains private property and is not open to the public. Visitors can only view the exterior from the surrounding grounds and roads.
The estate was split off from Marsvinsholm in 1841 and bought by Count Arvid Posse in 1848, when it was still called Snårestad's manor. The name Charlottenlund came with the new main building he had erected in 1849. The grounds today cover 664 hectares, mostly cereal fields, plus a 122-hectare park.
