Örup Castle is a castle in Tomelilla Municipality, Scania, in southern Sweden. Located a few kilometers south of Tomelilla, it was built during the late Middle Ages.
Together with Glimmingehus, Bollerup Castle and Tosterup Castle, the castles were constructed as defensive structures during a period of conflict. During this time, Swedish and Danish forces contested power.
Local lords sought to protect their territories from external threats. These defensive structures stand as a part of the historical landscape of Scania.
