Jordberga Castle, Manor house in Trelleborg Municipality, Sweden
Jordberga Castle is a long, low manor house in Trelleborg Municipality, rebuilt in 1908 in Art Nouveau baroque style to designs by Danish architect Henri Carl August Glæsel. Its pale yellow walls carry a dark grey tiled roof with green-topped dormer windows, and a large round green copper dome with a lantern and spire rises over the central section, where three windows per floor sit above a carved stone entrance with steps.
The estate dates to the 1400s. Governor Eric von Nolcken (1763–1834) bought Jordberga in 1811; his son Carl Adam von Nolcken (1811–1857) had the main house built in Gothic style to designs by architect Carl Georg Brunius (1793–1869). In 1908 the main house was rebuilt in Art Nouveau baroque style by Danish architect Henri Carl August Glæsel (1853–1921), commissioned by Carl Gustaf Stjernswärd (1844–1896).
The name Jordberga comes from the estate's long history in the Scania countryside, and the manor remains a working agricultural property. Visitors can see the round green copper dome and the carved stone entrance of the main house, elements that mark the 1908 rebuilding by Carl Gustaf Stjernswärd. The estate is a private residence, so the buildings are viewed from outside.
Jordberga Castle stands in Trelleborg Municipality in southern Skåne, near the Öresund coast. The main house is a private manor, so access to the building and grounds depends on cultural events or prior arrangement; confirm conditions before travelling. The estate lies in open farmland, and a car is the practical way to reach it.
The estate's name appears in records from the 1400s, and the main house carries two building campaigns: Carl Adam von Nolcken had it built in Gothic style to designs by Carl Georg Brunius, then in 1908 it was rebuilt in Art Nouveau baroque style by Danish architect Henri Carl August Glæsel. Look for the round green copper dome with its small lantern and spire above the central section.
