Kåseholm, 17th century castle in Österlen, Sweden

Kåseholm is a castle from the 1600s located in Österlen that combines the main residence with several working buildings, courtyards, and gardens across its grounds. The estate includes barn structures used for gatherings, a functional kitchen building, and multiple courtyards that define the layout around the original stone structure.

The estate is recorded from at least 1639 and was called Esbjörnsstorp when Johan Uhrne bought it around 1647. He renamed it Kåseholm after his wife Pernille Kaas, and the oldest parts of the castle probably belong to the stone house he built around 1650. The present building was depicted in 1761 and rebuilt in 1813, incorporating parts of the earlier structure.

The name Kåseholm comes from Pernille Kaas, wife of Johan Uhrne, who bought the estate around 1647 when it was called Esbjörnsstorp and renamed it after her. Today the manor runs a large farm alongside a hotel and conference business, so the buildings host guests and meetings rather than a museum visit.

Kåseholm lies about eight kilometres northwest of Tomelilla in Skåne, and today the estate runs a hotel and conference facility alongside large-scale farming. The main building, rebuilt in 1813, is a long white-plastered structure of two joined ranges under red clay tiles, with a steep central roof, a white chimney and small dormer windows; a metal roof ladder rests on the left slope.
