We made a point of visiting the castle during the time of the guided visit (every day at 2pm in summer, only in Swedish) and the hour spent wandering through the grounds of the fortified mansion and its rooms was a delight. Our guide, Annika,...More

Brilliant young chef

I had their buffet and I really loved the food. The cod in white wine sauce is absolutely brilliant. Spoke to the young chef and I had to tell him that I have seldom had so good fish and I don't really enjoy fish normally.

My favourite type of architecture.

This type of castle is my favourite type because of the rustic outlook of it. Nice environment, very isolated from the city, there is no hint of modern life at all but a rustic retreat for everyone who love the antique look of old castle....More

Beautiful wellpreserved castle with an interesting historical background

It is a beautiful place especially in springtime. To fully appreciate it book a tour and learn about its exciting history. While you are there you should visit the "Biblioteksruinen" not far away from the castle. It is a magical place!!

This castle situated beautifully outside Hassleholm are not the typical European castle. So compared with those castles this is a grade three to me, but for being Hassleholm it would be a grade four and almost a must in when in Hassleholm. The main tower...More
