Gärsnäs Castle, a historic building in Simrishamn Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden, is mentioned in the 14th-century. Originally, it was a fortress, built by the Drefelt family. The present Gärsnäs Castle, built by Falk Lykke, was constructed later in 1630. In 1658, the castle was acquired by Heinrich Rantzau. Jöran Adlersteen bought it in 1702. The castle was inherited by Jöran Adlersteen’s three daughters in 1713, one of whom was Christina Beata Dagström. The castle is still privately owned today.
