Originally owned by the Archbishop of Lund, the estate became a private residence in the 17th century.

Högestad Castle, known in Swedish as Högestads gods, is an estate located in Ystad Municipality in Scania, Sweden.

During the Middle Ages, the estate was owned by the Archbishop of Lund. In 1635, the property was owned by Danish statesman Palle Rosenkrantz, who built the main building. This structure was a two-story stone house featuring stairwells.

In 1706, the estate was purchased by Carl Piper and his wife Christina Piper. The site has also been associated with notable figures, including the zoologist Carl Jakob Sundevall.
