Toppeladugård Castle, located in Lund Municipality, Scania, Sweden, initially served as a smaller farmstead that was part of Häckeberga Castle. In 1720, Christina Piper (1673-1752) purchased the property and constructed the first castle, complete with a Baroque garden.
In 1918, the property was acquired by Johan Kuylenstierna. The old three-story buildings were in poor condition at the time of the acquisition, and he soon had the main building and the west wing demolished.
The current Renaissance-style building was erected in 1918-20. The design was based on the work of Lars Johan Lehming (1871-1940), and several of the adjoining buildings, as well as the park around the castle, originate from the 18th century.
