[1] The history of the estate goes back to the Middle Ages and it was owned by the Brahe family during the Danish rule of Scania.

Typical for its time, the castle was a Renaissance manor built in brick with three floors, a staircase tower with an elaborate spire, two crow-stepped gables and surrounded by a large moat.

Malte Ramel was one of the richest men in Scania of the time, holding tile to the estates at Löberöd, Västerstad, Hviderup and Sireköpinge as well as Maltesholm.

It was completed in 1780 in the style of Swedish classical palace; the only remains of the Renaissance castle are the moat and the year "1680" marked on the facade.

Hans Ramel also constructed a 1.3 kilometres (0.81 mi) long stone road leading up to the Mansion through the undulating landscape.
