Rydsgårds gods, Historical estate in Skurup Municipality, Sweden
Rydsgards gods is a country estate in Skurup Municipality with an elongated main building featuring plastered walls, projecting wings, and tiled gables. Extensive grounds surround the house, including parkland and a small lake positioned to the north.
The estate's real founder was Joakim Ehrenbusch, who expanded it by buying surrounding farms. In 1715 Sven Hallenberg acquired it, and it stayed in the Hallenborg family until 1903, when it was sold to Rydsgårds Jordbruks-AB. In the 1930s Ninni Kronberg worked here on dried-milk production. The 1,118 hectares were sold in 2009 to George Bergengren's farming company.
The estate served as a family residence and shaped the rural landscape through its farming operations for generations. The architecture and layout reflect how country estates were organized and used during their period.
The main building stands on the south shore of a small lake, about 5 km north of Rydsgård town in Villie parish. A walking path through the beech forest on the far side of the lake leads to the Rydsgård runestone. The estate is private farmland, so access to the buildings and grounds depends on the owners.
Across the small lake from the main building stands Rydsgårdstenen, a runestone reached by a footpath through beech woods. The estate's founder, Joakim Ehrenbusch, built it up by buying surrounding farms; in the 1930s Ninni Kronberg worked here on producing dried milk.
