Hjularöd Castle, Manor house in Eslöv Municipality, Sweden
Hjularöd Castle is a manor house in Eslöv Municipality, designed by architects Isak Gustaf Clason and Lars Israel Wahlman and built in 1894–1897 for chamberlain Hans Gustaf Toll. Its stone walls and towers follow French medieval models, especially the château de Pierrefonds.
The estate was first recorded in 1391; during the Horn War it belonged to Knud Gabrielsen, the Danish national judge in Halland, and was plundered and burned by Swedish troops shortly before the Battle of Borst. The present manor was built in 1894–1897 for chamberlain Hans Gustaf Toll, designed by Isak Gustaf Clason and Lars Israel Wahlman after French medieval models, notably the château de Pierrefonds.
The manor's name comes from the estate first recorded in 1391, long before the present house. Since 1926 it has belonged to the Bergengren family, and the courtyard was used for outdoor scenes of SVT's 1996 Christmas calendar Mysteriet på Greveholm. The building is not open to the public, so the name and screen role are what visitors encounter from outside.
The manor has belonged to the Bergengren family since 1926 and is not open to the public, so there is no interior access. Visitors see the building from outside, on the grounds around it, and should keep to paths away from 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.
