Högestad Castle in Sweden has a long history dating back to the Middle Ages. Initially owned by the Archbishop of Lund, it was later claimed by the Swedish Crown. The castle you see today is a far cry from its grand past. Two-story high, the elaborate facade has been streamlined. The castle's gardens, once vibrant and extensive, are now reduced to a few flower beds and a vegetable plot. Visitors can take a guided tour of the castle and learn about its historical background. They can also visit the farm and witness the farmers at work.
