Vegeholm Castle, Medieval castle in Ängelholm Municipality, Sweden
Vegeholm Castle is a stone fortification with three stories, two square corner towers, and a central courtyard. Two separate long buildings extend from the north side, creating a larger residential and defensive complex.
The castle was built in the early 16th century but was destroyed by fire in 1525. Danish nobleman Tyge Krabbe, a military commander, oversaw its reconstruction starting in 1530.
The castle represents Swedish architectural heritage through its stone masonry, traditional Nordic design elements, and the preservation of aristocratic building traditions.
The castle is located in Ängelholm Municipality and remains a private residence occupied by the von Geijer family. Visitors should check ahead with local tourism to arrange access, as it is not a public museum.
The north side features two independent long buildings that create surprising visual depth rather than a simple rectangular layout. Most visitors overlook this unusual arrangement, yet it shapes how the property appears from different angles.
