Kvesarum Castle, Castle in Södra Rörum, Hörby Municipality, Sweden
Kvesarum Castle is a red-brick building in Södra Rörum, Hörby Municipality, completed in 1865. Its symmetrical facade is flanked by two tall round towers with dark conical roofs and thin spires, and a lighter stone band separates the lower level from the white-framed windows above. A short stone stairway leads to the central double door.
Kvesarum is first recorded in 1388 as Quixarum, when it belonged to the Lund Cathedral Chapter; in 1536 it passed to the Danish Crown. The present main building was put up in 1865 for Count Vladimir Moltke-Huitfeldt, who also began large land reclamation works and forest plantations. His son Adam Vladimir inherited the estate in 1894.
