Things to see and do Scania

Bosjökloster, beautifully situated between two lakes, was built on an unknown date. The oldest document related to it dates back to 1181 and evokes a convent. During the Reform, the convent was closed before being, in the th century, forfeited by the Swedish State. Today, the noble Bonde family (the first name of the chamberlain is James) occupies and preserves this two-storey building with a bright white. The castle is open to the public as well as the park which includes an aromatic garden and a rose garden. Beautiful lawns overlook the lake.

Built in the Middle Ages, Troll-Ljungby was restored in the th and th centuries and in the middle of the th century. In the courtyard are exposed to the horn and pipe of Ljungby. These objects play a crucial role in the mythology of the castle. History dates back to the th century. A household was ordered to go to see what the elves were preparing for the Christmas party. The elves gave him a pipe and a horn, and he was forced to smoke and drink their health. But a young girl, held hostage by the elves, shouted to leave. The young employee managed to escape with the two gifts. To revenge, the elves held a curse: the castle had to burn three times and change ownership. The castle was indeed burned three times, and the noble Ulfstrand gave way to another noble family, Troll-Wachtmeister.

Built in 1499 and has not undergone any reshuffle since then, Glimmingehus is a veritable medieval castle open to the public. Small openings crossing the walls of 2,50 m thick still point to cannons. In 1676, during the war between Denmark and Sweden, the King of Sweden gave the order to demolish the castle, fearing that he fell into the hands of the Danes. But, while the men were there, the Danish fleet landed in the port of Ystad and the Swedes had to escape. Glimmingehus, who later changed ownership, is now owned by the Swedish state. Not to miss in August, the medieval festival gathering knights and minstrels at the time around a game.

This castle, built in 1640 in the Christian II style, King of Denmark, has been the subject of many covetous. Unfortunately, the interior cannot be visited, but the fortifications surrounding a canal crossed by many bridges are remarkable.

This Renaissance castle, built in 1530 by a noble named Sparre, serves as a museum and restaurant. The huge red brick building is reflected in the lake beneath it. During the Danish period, the castle was a very appreciated residence of Danish nobles. Its most famous owner was the Swedish Rutger Macklean (1742-1816), which was changing peasant life by imposing land regrouping (villages break-up, redistribution of land), thus making Skåne the richest region in the Swedish Kingdom. The four floors of the castle reconstruct the lives of nobles at various times: exhibitions of tapestries, clothing, arms, textiles, toys and coins. The castle park is wild and cultivated with its lake, beech wood and green lawns. The restaurant, traditional regional cuisine, offers a typical but very expensive menu.

Built, in 1559, belonged to only two families: The Thott for 300 years and today at Troll. Does it not look like a fairy tale? It is said that every night the ghost of the places agite its chains…

This former convent of the 1760 th century was remodelled by a very long aisle of plane trees, in, in a rococo castle where the ochre and pale pink of the crépi blend harmoniously. The garden, with terraces and fountains, was designed according to the maps of the gardens of the Versailles castle. The castle is not open to the public. Only gardens are accessible.
