Christinehof Castle
Christinehofs slott
An 18th-century pink Baroque castle, with nearby ruins of the Andrarum alum works and one of Scania's highest waterfalls.
Christinehof Castle was built in 1737–1740. Its exterior is painted a striking pink. It is a rare example of Swedish country Baroque architecture in the style of a city palace, built by the family that ran the Andrarum alum works. The castle is surrounded by forest and a deer park, and offers guided tours and a café in summer. Near the castle, the ruins of the Andrarum alum works (1637–1912) retain red mounds of alum shale waste from the kilns. Further east lies the Håraberg waterfall, which drops about 20 metres. It is about 30 km from Simrishamn and 10 km from Brösarp.
