#mytraveldiary Trolleholm Castle has a fascinating history. Originally called Eriksholm, it has roots going back to the Middle Ages. Over the centuries, it changed owners and was eventually given its current name by the noble Trolle family. Knowing this made the visit more meaningful, as you could see how the architecture and style evolved with time. The Renaissance Revival design we see today was shaped in the 19th century, giving the castle its fairy-tale appearance. It’s interesting how one building can carry layers of history, from medieval fortress to aristocratic estate to present-day private home.
