Viderup Castle

Viderup Castle

In the 17th century, a widow of the Danish royal guard built her second home - and the striking castle it would become. A trip to its courtyard, Hviderup in Eslöv Municipality, Scania, Sweden, tells you none of that.

Anne Brahe, the widow of Steen Maltesen Sehested, a Danish Marshal of the Realm and commander of Froste Herred in Scania, built Hviderup manor in the 17th century. The main building has two floors and two one-storey wings, surrounds a courtyard that is open to the north. Anne Brahe built the manor in Renaissance style. Hviderup manor is situated in Eslöv Municipality, Scania, Sweden.
