Hjularöd Castle, Castle in Scania, Sweden
Hjularöd Castle is a manor in Eslöv Municipality built with stone walls and towers modeled after French medieval designs. The structure was completed between 1894 and 1897, showcasing the architectural choices favored by wealthy families during that era.
The property originated in 1391, but the present building was constructed between 1894 and 1897 under the direction of chamberlain Hans Gustaf Toll. This rebuilding period transformed an earlier settlement into the structure visitors see today.
The castle reflects how wealthy Swedish families of the late 1800s chose to build their homes, drawing inspiration from French medieval traditions. The stone walls and towers show the European architectural tastes that appealed to the country's upper classes during that period.
The castle remains a private home owned by the Bergengren family and visitors can only view the exterior. It is best to appreciate the building from the grounds surrounding it and avoid entering private areas.
The inner courtyard served as a filming location for the Swedish television series Mysteriet på Greveholm in 1996. This role in television history often goes unnoticed by visitors exploring the grounds.
