Månstorp's gables (Månstorps gavlar)

Today, it is a magnificent ruin where mighty gables and walls remain, but in the 1400's one of the most elegant castles in Skåne. This was the Renaissance castle that the Danish Governor Eskil Bille built 1540-1547, a unique and beautiful creation with a large knight's hall on the second floor. The castle was inserted inside of a protecting wall which all was surrounded by a moat. And in order to meet the demands of the time, the same creator was used as at the construction of Malmöhus Castle.

The building was four storeys high, at the top was the defense ceiling with shutter rails, the third floor bed- & living rooms, the second the elegant Knight's hall with large windows and glazed tile floors and the bottom floor had the kitchen and rooms for servants.

But already in the late 1400's there was a manor in Mogenstrup (Dagens Månstorp), which belonged to the Danish family Hack. In the 17th century Månstorp passed into Swedish ownership but was destroyed in 1678. In 1749, Carl von Linné and secretary Olof Söderberg visited Månstorp, where Linné noted, among other things, that the ruin that "was surrounded by a moat and high walls, had previously been fortified." In 1900 Månstorp was renovated and today is a popular excursion destination, not least in the summer, when concerts are held at Månstorp Gavlar.
