Krageholm Castle
Krageholm Castle ( sv, Krageholms slott) is an estate at Ystad Municipality in Scania, Sweden. History The original estate castle is named in the 14th century as belonging to the Due family, and then to the Tott, Brahe, Marsvin and Krabbe families. In Danish times, the castle was called Krogholm and its most famous owner was Baron Jörgen Krabbe who was a native Scanian Dane who chose to pledge faith to the Swedish Crown when Scania was ceded to Sweden in 1658. During the Scanian war of 1676–1679, Krabbe was imprisoned and executed on the charge of collusion with the Danes and high treason. Several of his employees, including the estate manager Christopher, also got executed by the Swedes. The castle was consequently contested by both Danish and Swedish troops and there was intense fighting on the castle grounds, including bombardments. Krabbe's widow, Jytte Thott, had to sell most of the family properties, including Krogholm, because they had been impoverished during the war. ...
