Rögle säteri, Manor building in Helsingborg Municipality, Sweden
Rögle säteri is an estate in Helsingborg Municipality featuring two large stone barns built after 1858 that rank among the largest agricultural structures in the Skåne region. The buildings stand on an island protected by a surrounding moat system that defines the property boundaries.
First documented in 1433, the estate passed through Danish hands until 1663 when Count Gustav Otto Stenbock became the owner. The property later developed into a significant economic operation during the 19th century under new management.
The name Rögle traces to 1433, when Peder Lauridsen Giedde wrote himself to Rögla. The estate stayed in the Giedde family until 1538, when a marriage brought it to the Grubbe family. The yellow brick from its 18th-century brickworks became known in Helsingborg as "Olsasten".
The estate is privately owned and not open for general visits; the buildings and grounds are best viewed from public roads and paths around the perimeter. The main facade faces a lawn with a large deciduous tree partly screening its left side. The manor lies in Välinge socken, about ten kilometres southwest of Ängelholm.
The property housed one of the region's earliest dairy operations, established by Colonel Count Carl Johan Wachtmeister in the 19th century. This venture showed how advanced agricultural methods were practiced at the estate during that period.
