Skarhult Castle

The stone castle features four wings surrounding a central courtyard, with architectural elements from the 16th century and subsequent modifications throughout its existence.

Danish nobleman Sten Rosensparre commissioned the construction of the current castle structure in the 1560s when the region belonged to Denmark.

The castle maintains exhibits highlighting the role of women in Swedish nobility, particularly focusing on Beata Elisabet von Königsmarck's management of the estate.

Visitors can access the castle through guided tours, which include exploration of the period-furnished rooms and extensive garden grounds during specified opening hours.

The castle represents one of the earliest documented cases of female estate management in Sweden, as Beata Elisabet von Königsmarck controlled it from 1661 to 1723.
