Gladsaxehus

[2] In her will dated 11 August 1398, Ide Pedersdatter Falk, widow of Torkil Nielsen Bing,[3] bequeathed her manor at Gladsax, together with a large fortune in property and cash, to be the endowment and seat of a planned Dominican nunnery.

However, after Ide Falk's death in 1399, the queen and Bishop Peder of Roskilde realised the strategic importance of the location as a counterweight to the archbishop's castles at Åhus, four miles to the north, and Hammershus on Bornholm.

[2][4] In the 1770s, C. G. Hilfeling inventoried properties in Skåne on behalf of the king; at Gladsax he described the ruins of a stone walled castle with newer buildings to the west.

(The "fishponds" he also mentions near the castle were probably part of a water-driven system for smelting silver from a local mine.

One storey remained standing to a height of a couple of metres, with an arched door opening on the west side and arrow slits at each end; all of these had brick framing.
