The 17th-century manor of Pålsjö Castle in Helsingborg

Pålsjö Castle, situated in Helsingborg, Sweden, is a 17th-century manor. The first owner of record was the Danish noble Steen Basse Bille, who lived approximately between 1446 and 1520. Following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658, Scania became a possession of the Swedish Crown. The current building was built in the period 1676-79 following the Scanian War (1676–1679), during which the estate was largely destroyed while the Danish army in Scania was defeated by the Swedish army.

During the Battle of Helsingborg in 1710, Swedish field marshal Magnus Stenbock had his headquarters at Pålsjö. The surrounding French-style park was founded in the 1760s. Between 1869 and 1873, the manor was reconstructed in Neo-Renaissance style.

The city of Helsingborg bought the estate Pålsjö in 1908 and acquired the manor building with the surrounding park in 1957. Today, the site remains a historical landmark in Scania.
