| Bosjökloster castle as it looks today |
Scania, the southernmost of the traditional non-administrative provinces of
Sweden, is full of
historic castles and manors, many of theem dating back to the time (before 1658) when Scania still was part of the
Kingdom of Denmark.
Bosjökloster, situated on the shore of lake
Ringsjön, dates back to A.D. 1080. The castle, which originally was a monastery for women, is since 1908 in the possession of the
Bonde family. Today count
Tord Bonde and his family are in charge of the estate.
Bosjökloster is open for the public in June - September. For friends of classical music, the annual
Music at Bosjökloster festival offers a number excellent concerts. (My previous post was about one of them). If you happen to be in Southern Sweden in August, the Music at Bosjökloster concerts are worth keeping in mind.
Here are a couple of pictures I shot yesterday during the concert interval at Bosjökloster:
