Step back six centuries to the original Renaissance style Bjärsjöholm Castle, built by Björn Kaas in 1576. Originally consisting of four brick buildings built around a courtyard, the site now consists of two buildings. The original manor to the north was eventually abandoned due to settlements.
A new manor was designed by Ferdinand Meldahl and built in 1850. The newer addition on the estate was built in Romantic, German style in 1849–50, on a hill just south of the old manor. It is a three-story building flanked by two square towers.
In 1890, one of the Renaissance buildings needed extensive renovations and only the gables could be saved.
