Häckeberga Castle, French Renaissance castle on an island in Häckebergasjön Lake, Sweden.
Häckeberga Castle stands on one of seven islands within Lake Häckebergasjön, featuring tall towers and symmetrical architecture from the 19th century. The building now operates as a hotel with 27 rooms, six meeting spaces, and a restaurant accommodating 65 guests, overseen by a former Michelin-starred chef.
The estate dates to the 14th century, and the manor house was built in French Renaissance style between 1873 and 1875 for Tönnes Wrangel von Brehmer to drawings by Helgo Zettervall (1831–1907). It stands on one of the seven islets of Lake Häckebergasjön.
The name Häckeberga comes from the estate that dates to the 14th century, and the mansion's French Renaissance design by Helgo Zettervall is visible in its symmetry and pale stone trim. Since 2022 the building has housed a boutique hotel, a restaurant run by a former Michelin-starred chef, and a conference facility.
The mansion sits on one of the seven islets of Lake Häckebergasjön in Lund Municipality, Scania. It operates as a boutique hotel, restaurant and conference facility, so non-resident visitors should check with the establishment before walking the grounds. The gravel path and lawn in front of the brick facade are the main approach to the entrance porch.
The estate occupies one of seven islets in Lake Häckebergasjön, so the surrounding water, not a moat, defines the site. The 1873–1875 manor house was drawn by Helgo Zettervall, the architect also behind several major Swedish public buildings of the period.
