Örenäs Castle (Swedish : Örenäs slott) is a stately mansion at Landskrona Municipality in Scania, Sweden. It is situated approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the center of Landskrona.
The building as it looks today was built in 1914–1918, when Swedish engineer and industrialist Carl Tranchell (1849-1919) had it constructed. It was designed to resemble a Baroque style castle by architect Fredrik Sundbärg (1860-1913). During World War II, Danish and Estonian refugees were hosted here. In 1970, the building was renovated and became a public facility. It and surrounding buildings are now a hotel (with 115 rooms [1] ) and conference centre with a public restaurant. [2] [3] [4]
