1500s
In 1538, when Skåne belonged to Denmark, the national council and the knight Tage Ottesen Thott († 1562) had a castle erected here which he named Eriksholm after his dead brother, Erik. Eriksholm became a fully enclosed facility with a three-storey brick building around a square courtyard with a wide water trench with a wind bridge in front of the eastern gate. Since Skåne was the scene of many battles in the 16th century, it was important to build a castle that could withstand the increasingly advanced weapons. When Ottesen built his Eriksholm, the tomb had ended only two years earlier.
When Ottesen died in 1562, his son, Otte Tagesen Thott (19), inherited Eriksholm, including the family estate Näs. When Otte (45) died in 1588, his widow Sophie Ottesdatter Brahe (32) took over the management of the farm. She was also a sister to astronomer Tycho Brahe. (Slottsguiden.se)
