About
Örup Castle (Swedish: Örups slott) is a castle in Tomelilla Municipality, Scania, in southern Sweden. Located a few kilometers south of Tomelilla, together with Glimmingehus, Bollerup Castle and Tosterup Castle, the castles were built during the late Middle Ages. They were constructed as defensive structures during a period of conflict, when Swedish and Danish forces contested power and local lords sought to protect their territories from external threats.
