Ovesholm Castle, Manor house in Kristianstad Municipality, Sweden.

Ovesholm Castle is a manor house in Kristianstad, southern Sweden, built in the late 18th century and completed in the early 19th century. The building has a neoclassical character and was later enlarged with additional wings that give the estate its current form.

Construction began in 1792 under Carl Adam Wrangel, the governor of Kristianstad, and was finished around 1804. About a century later, Count Axel Raoul Hamilton ordered major additions to the estate, giving it the size it has today.

The manor is named after Ovesholm, the estate in Kristianstad Municipality where it stands; the Swedish form is Ovesholms slott. Carl Adam Wrangel, governor of Kristianstad, built it as a country seat, and Count Axel Raoul Hamilton enlarged it in 1857. Visitors see the pale red facade with white bands and pilasters facing the water.

The estate is privately owned and not open to visitors, so only the exterior can be seen from the paths and roads nearby. The surrounding countryside around Kristianstad is easy to walk through and gives a good sense of the wider setting.

The manor was built for Carl Adam Wrangel, governor of Kristianstad, between 1792 and 1804, and Count Axel Raoul Hamilton added an extension in 1857. The pale red facade with white pilasters and bands, the projecting central section with its balcony, and the three chimneys along the hipped roof are details a visitor can pick out from across the lawn.
