Svaneholm Castle goes back to a Renaissance building that was built in the 16th and 17th centuries. It is idyllically situated on Svaneholmssjö and is surrounded by a well-tended castle park. Concerts, open-air festivals and other activities are held in the park in summer. The Association for Monument Preservation and Local Lore Vemmenhög Härad operates part of the castle as a museum. In another part there is a restaurant with a great Sunday brunch. The castle was also a film location, something like that in the BBC series Wallander in the episode "The man who smiled", in which the villain Harderberg resides on Svaneholms Slott. https://svaneholmsslott.se/

A haunted castle from the 16th century in a clearing by a lake. The perfect rest stop if you come out of – or if you want to go in – the Häckeberga forest, where you'll find another castle by a lake.
