Näsbyholm Castle, frequently called Näsbyholms slott in Swedish, is a manor house located in the Skurup municipality of Scania, southern Sweden. Situated about four kilometers from Skurup, it is a place steeped in history, with structures on its grounds dating back to the 14th century. The fortified castle was demolished in 1865, and after a fire in 1955, the current manor house was erected in 1957. An east wing was later added in 1994.
In 1744, the estate was acquired by Danish captain Christian Henrik von Finecke, who in 1756 made Näsbyholm a fideicommiss. Näsbyholm was the birthplace and childhood home of the twin brothers Bror von Blixen-Finecke, a professional hunter, and Hans von Blixen-Finecke, an equestrian.
In January 2022, a solar energy park began operations on the grounds of the castle.
