Kvesarum Castle, Renaissance castle in Södra Rörum, Hörby Municipality, Sweden.

The red brick castle stands on a hill south of Lake Kvesarumssjön, featuring steep slate roofs and round towers in French Renaissance style.

First documented in 1388 as Quixarum, the castle belonged to Lund Cathedral Chapter until 1536, when it transferred to the Danish Crown ownership.

The castle represents the architectural preferences of Swedish nobility during the 1860s, with its combination of defensive elements and residential features.

The castle remains a private residence under the ownership of Christina Feith-Wachtmeister and does not offer public access to its interior spaces.

The structure maintains original slate roofing and decorative battlements from 1865, despite these elements serving no defensive purpose in that period.
