Högestad Castle (Swedish: Högestads gods) is an estate in Ystad Municipality in Scania, Sweden. [1]
History
During the Middle Ages, the estate was owned by the Archbishop of Lund. In 1635 it was owned by Danish statesman Palle Rosenkrantz (1587-1642) who built the main building, a two-story stone house with stairwells. Carl Piper (1647-1716) and his wife Christina Piper (1673–1752 bought the estate in 1706.[2][3]
