Simontorp säteri, Manor house in Sjöbo Municipality, Sweden.
Simontorp säteri is a manor estate in Sjöbo Municipality, Skåne County, spanning extensive grounds with farmland, forests, and water features. The main building dates from the 1700s and has undergone substantial modifications over time.
This estate traces its roots to the 1500s, with its current form shaped by construction and renovation during the 1700s and 1800s. The 20th century brought new directions in how the property was managed and developed.
The name Simontorp reflects the historical settlement pattern of the Sjöbo region. Today, visitors can observe how the estate maintains its rural character as a working property integrated into the local landscape.
Visits work best during drier months when the terrain with forests and water features is more accessible. Plan enough time to explore, as the property covers a large area and navigation takes patience.
The estate features a large wildlife enclosure with red deer and wild boars, which is an unusual addition to a manor property. It also hosts one of Sweden's largest facilities for breeding aquarium fish, creating an industrial contrast within the rural setting.
