Seminars and company events

Basic sound and lighting cover events of up to 250 people. For larger events, more sound and lighting can be arranged by agreement. The team offers a no obligation visit to the hall before you decide.

History and setting
The current castle was built in 1537 and restored between 1602 and 1630, and is described as one of the best preserved Renaissance castles in Northern Europe. The estate was bought by the City of Malmö in 1970, and most of the castle park is open to the public. Next to it lie a beech forest and a garden with traces from five centuries. Stenladan is the east wing of the stables, a former grain store. The stables date back to the 1500s, burned in 2006 and were rebuilt in 2010 in an eighteenth century style.
The castle itself is not wheelchair accessible. Guided group visits can be booked separately, for up to 25 people, with at least two weeks' notice. The public areas of Stenladan are accessible, with six modern toilets.
Getting there
The estate lies on Torupsvägen near Bara, south east of Malmö. The information shop and entrance sit in the old stables, about 50 meters from the bus stop. The Jaktpaviljongen is at Torupsvägen 494. To book, send a request through the form on the City of Malmö's Torup pages, or write to torup@malmo.se. The city replies with a proposed date and a visit.
