Torup Castle – 1537 - a photo on Flickriver

            Torup Castle is one of the many beautiful old castles here in my home province, Scania (Skåne).

Torup Castle has a history dating back to the 14th century. The current castle was built in 1537 and restored during the years 1602-1630, when it also got the look it has today.

There were troubled times and the castle was therefore provided with a proper defense. To make it extra difficult to capture, Torup Castle was built in the middle of an artificial lake on old marshland. 
From 1790, the lake began to be drained and the land was cultivated instead into a meadow.

Parks and gardens were developed by the owner family according to the fashion of the time during the 19th and early 20th century. At the turn of the century in 1900, Torup's castle was a gathering place for the cultural and scientific elite of the time, invited by the Coyet family who owned and lived at the castle.
