Trolleholm Castle

The red brick castle features three buildings with four corner towers, portholes, and a stair tower within its enclosed courtyard.

Originally named Kattisnabbe, the site transformed from a Cistercian monastic estate in 1424 to Eriksholm Castle in the 1530s under Tage Ottesen Thott.

The castle library contains 45,000 volumes, making it one of Northern Europe's largest private book collections, with designs inspired by English universities.

The estate extends across 5,000 hectares of land and includes 110 houses, operating as a venue for corporate board activities and representations.

The castle underwent reconstruction in the 1750s by architect Carl Hårleman, with one-third of its original walls remaining in the current structure.
