Svenstorp Castle

Svenstorp Castle in the Swedish municipality of Lund is a historic castle built in 1596 by Beate Huitfeldt, an influential lady-in-waiting at the court of the Danish king Christian IV. It was designed by the architect Hans Steenwinkel. The estate gained particular historical significance in November 1676, when King Christian V stayed here the night before the Battle of Lund. That same night, after the victory of the Swedish troops, King Charles XI slept in the same room and the same bed. Since 1723, the property has belonged to the Gyllenkrok family, who still live there today.
