Ovesholm Castle

Ovesholm Castle stands as a prominent architectural structure with features from the late 18th century, incorporating elements of neoclassical design throughout its exterior.

The construction of the castle occurred between 1792 and 1804 under the direction of Carl Adam Wrangel, who served as governor of Kristianstad during that period.

The castle represents Swedish nobility's residential preferences during the 1800s, displaying the architectural and social standards of the period through its design and layout.

The castle functions as a private residence and remains closed to public visits, limiting access to its grounds and interior spaces throughout the year.

Count Axel Raoul Hamilton expanded the castle in 1857, adding new sections that integrated with the original structure while maintaining its architectural cohesion.
