Kastberga Manor, Manor house in Trollenäs parish, Eslöv Municipality, Sweden
Kastberga Manor is a white-plastered building with a red-tiled roof, located in Kastberga, just north of Eslöv. It has a tall, narrow gable section on the left with a round clock face, a three-paned window, and a larger multi-paned window below, topped by a small wind vane. A lower wing extends to the right with two dormer gables and white-framed rectangular windows. Brick chimneys stand between the sections and at the far left.
Kastberga Manor was built by Fabian Gustaf Wrede after the Ellinge estate was divided upon the death of Carl Fredrik Dycker in 1889. Wrede owned it until 1912, followed by Axel Carl Wrede until 1925 and Captain P.G. Sjövall until 1935. Katarina Crafoord, daughter of Gambro founder Holger Crafoord, held the manor from 1985 to 2007.
The name comes from the village of Kastberga in Trollenäs parish. From 1985 to 2007 the manor belonged to Katarina Crafoord, daughter of Gambro founder Holger Crafoord, who built up an extensive antiquarian bookshop at the castle; some of those books could still be seen there. Since 2019 it has been owned by Carl Magnus and Ann Ulla-Gun Walde.
