There are around 170 castles and manors in Skåne. Castles served as defense facilities for several centuries. Skåne has been particularly exposed to conflicts through constant battles between Sweden and Denmark. There was also a rich nobility that built many of the castles in Skåne that still exist today.
They are very beautiful and stately buildings, which are also often located in incredibly scenic locations. They are also an important part of our cultural heritage. If you are interested in history, it obviously adds an extra dimension to the visit. And in addition, many of the castles offer fantastic dining experiences, exclusive accommodation, guided tours and other activities.
