Snogeholm Castle, Medieval château in Sjöbo Municipality, Sweden.

Snogeholm Castle stands on the eastern shore of Lake Snogeholm, featuring a two-story main building and three three-story towers with two detached wings.

The original fortress, called Hejreholm, was controlled by the Archbishop of Lund until 1536 when it transferred to the Danish crown after a fire.

The current French Baroque structure, built in 1870s, maintains architectural elements that reflect the period's noble residential preferences in southern Sweden.

The castle grounds include marked hiking trails ranging from 1.5 to 16 kilometers, with paths suitable for wheelchair access through varied natural settings.

German Emperor Wilhelm II selected this location for deer hunting expeditions in 1899 and 1902, leading to the placement of commemorative stones.
