Karsholm Castle

Karsholm is a four-wing castle in Kristianstad Municipality featuring Dutch Renaissance design with symmetrical facades and ornamental details that define its exterior. The structure displays balanced proportions across its walls, with distinctive architectural elements that reflect this historical style throughout.

The castle first appeared in written records in 1336 and changed hands multiple times before Swedish count Fredrik Ulrik von Rosen acquired it in 1781. It received its current Dutch Renaissance form through a major renovation in 1862.

The architectural transformation in 1862 by Danish architect Johan Christian Ferdinand Zwingmann established the castle's current Dutch New Renaissance character.

The castle remains in private ownership and access is restricted from a distance of about one kilometer. Visitors should park at designated spots and use marked paths to reach viewing areas where the exterior can be seen.
