Sinclairsholm Castle, 17th-century château in Hässleholm Municipality, Sweden.

The castle features a symmetrical stone structure with large windows and multiple floors, situated within the southern Swedish landscape of Scania.

Danish privy counsellor Andrew Sinclair established the estate and initiated construction in 1620, with completion marked by an inscription above the door in 1626.

Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus visited Sinclairsholm Castle in May 1749 during his scientific expedition through the Scania region.

The castle remains under private ownership by Baron Johan Barnekow and accepts visitors through scheduled appointments for guided tours.

The estate changed ownership several times before coming into possession of the Gyllenkrook family in 1808, later transitioning to the Barnekow lineage.
