Katholm Castle is a manor house located on the Djursland peninsula, six km south of Grenaa, in eastern Denmark.
Built in the Renaissance style from 1588 to 1591 and expanded in 1622, it is set on a castle bank in the middle of an artificial lake in a forested area.
[2] Christence Bryske's brother inherited the estate after his sister but when he died a few years later it was passed on to his two sons, Gert and Truid.
[3] However, they encountered economic difficulties and in 1616 sold Katholm to Albret Skeel who was appointed Admiral of the Realm and admitted into the Privy Council that same year.
Located on a castle bank in an artificial lake, Katholm consists of three wings built in red brick to a simple Renaissance design.
The two capped corner towers and the staircase in the central yard all date from the original house along with the east wing which has a Dutch gable with curved contours.
The central yard opens to the south where a bridge in masonry leads across the moat to the remains of the farm, a barn from 1618 and a stable from 1619.
