The Alnarp Castle

Alnarp is a village and university campus in Lomma Municipality, Skåne County, Sweden, lying between Lund and Malmö.

The estate of Alnarp dates to 1325, and became the official residence of the governor-general of Scania in 1674.[1] In 1862, the existing Alnarp Castle was built to house a new school of agronomy, now part of the Alnarp campus of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.

Alnarp also housed the headquarters of the NordGen.[2] The park at Alnarp Castle is famous for its great diversity of tree species.
