Svenstorp Castle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Svenstorp Castle, located northeast of Lund, Scania, in the south of Sweden, was built 1596 by Beata Hvitfeldt, a powerful lady-in-waiting to the Danish King Christian IV. Her architect was Hans Steenwinkel.
In November 1676 the Danish king, Christian V, stayed at Svenstorp before the Battle of Lund. The night after the battle the Swedish king, Charles XI, whose troops had won the battle, stayed in the same room and the same bed.
Since 1723 the castle is owned by the family Gyllenkrok. Today Nils and Merrill Gyllenkrok with family live at Svenstorp Castle.
