Description

Snogeholm farm dates from the 16th century and it was owned by Thott, Brahe, Marsvin and Bille families. In the 1690s Christian Bille built the new main building between two detached wings. The current castle was built by Erik Claes Piper in 1870. The French Rococo style building has two storeys and three towers. The German Emperor Wilhelm II visited in Snogeholm in 1899 and 1902. Today Snogeholm castle hosts a hotel and restaurant.

There is a small island Hägerholmen adjacent to Snogeholm. A medieval castle Heireholm was located in the island and destroyed by fire in the 1500s. Today only some fragments remain of this castle.
