Kåseholm Castle, located in Tomelilla Municipality in Skåne, is a castle whose oldest parts are probably part of a stone house that Johan Uhrne built around 1650. The manor was originally known as Esbjörnsstorp.
In 1674, Enevold Fredrik Akeleye acquired the manor. He had inherited the Hjularöd estate in Harlös and sold it in 1662 for a great deal of money, which enabled him to buy and renovate Kåseholm as well as several neighboring farms.
Johan Uhrne, a nobleman, admiral and judge for Halland County, changed the name of the manor to Kåseholm after his wife, Pernille Kaas.
