Marsvinsholm Castle

The square structure rises four stories high with two five-story towers positioned at the northeast and southwest corners of the building.

Otto Marsvin constructed the castle between 1644 and 1648 on beech poles in a small lake, naming it after his family name which means porpoise.

The castle underwent major renovations from 1782 to 1786 under Count Erik Ruuth, establishing its current Dutch Renaissance architectural characteristics.

The castle remains in private ownership under Tomas Iacobaeus, and visitors can only view the exterior of the structure from designated areas.

The foundation of the castle rests entirely on wooden beech poles that have supported the structure for over three centuries beneath the water.
