70 contemporary sculptures at Vanås Castle

Discover a park featuring 70 sculptures and site-specific works integrated into a historical estate.

Since 1987, contemporary art with a focus on site-specific installations has been displayed at Vanås Castle. Art is presented in the park and in exhibition halls located in renovated stables and warehouse buildings from the 18th and 19th centuries.

In the park, some 70 sculptures and installations are permanently on display. Visitors can view works by artists such as Marina Abramović, Jenny Holzer, and Antony Gormley. The indoor exhibition halls offer further opportunities to experience pieces like lignum by Ann Hamilton.

The collection continues to grow, most recently welcoming Puruma by Atang Tshikare in 2025. The site serves as a venue where contemporary expression is integrated into the historic landscape of the estate in Östra Göinge Municipality.
