Björnstorp Castle, Rococo château in Lund Municipality, Sweden.

Björnstorp Castle is a two-storey whitewashed brick manor with a hipped roof at the foot of Romeleåsen, about 3 km north of Genarp. Built in 1750–1752 to drawings by Carl Hårleman, it has a tall central tower with a clock and slender spire, small dormer windows in the dark red tile roof, and a wooden double door in a gabled entryway.

Björnstorp is first recorded in 1568, when the Danish crown granted it to Mikkel Pedersen Gønge for his service in the war against Sweden. It passed through Danish noble families until Countess Christina Piper bought the estate in 1725 and enlarged it; the present manor was built in 1750–1752 to drawings by Carl Hårleman. In 1754 her daughter Hedvig Maria Sture sold it to Baron Fredrik Gustav Gyllenkrok, whose family still owns it. Helgo Zettervall rebuilt it in a Romantic style in 1868.

The manor served as a residence for Swedish nobility and artists who shaped its character over generations. Walking through the grounds, you notice how the space reflects the tastes and lifestyle of its inhabitants.

This is a private property that requires advance planning and permission from the owners for any visit. It is best to contact local authorities or estate management before attempting to access the grounds.

Artist Charlotta Cederström, married to Baron Axel Ture Gyllenkrok, lived here from 1780 to 1799 and brought artistic life to the estate. Her presence transformed the manor into a cultural hub of that era.
