The Dutch New Renaissance manor of Karsholm Castle

The Dutch New Renaissance manor of Karsholm Castle

From a 14th-century estate to a 19th-century manor, Karsholm Castle's history echoes through its stones.

Situated in Kristianstad, southern Sweden, Karsholm Castle underwent extensive renovation in 1854 and was rebuilt as a Dutch New Renaissance manor house in 1862. This work followed a purchase by Rudolf Hodder Stjernswärd. The Treschow family has owned and operated the estate since 1869.

The castle's history dates back to the 14th century. It passed through various owners over the centuries, including Swedish count Fredrik Ulrik von Rosen, who purchased Karsholm in 1781.

The main house received its current appearance in 1862 under the direction of Danish architect Johan Christian Ferdinand Zwingmann.
