Kastberga Manor

Kastberga Manor

A surprise in the heart of a Swedish village: once a bustling bookshop, this castle built of the division of a grand estate is not what you'd expect from a place called 'Kastberga Manor'.

Fabian Gustaf Wrede built Kastberga Manor in 1889, the result of the division of the Ellinge estate. The manor, a castle in all but name, lies in Kastberga, Trollenäs parish, near Eslöv. Katarina Crafoord, daughter of Holger Crafoord, the founder of Gambro, built an extensive antiquarian bookshop at Kastberga Manor. Eslöv, Skåne County, Sweden
