In the middle ages there was a fortress on an island in Snogeholmssjön, Hejreholm.

A connection to the knight Holger Gregersen Krognos [da; no]is mentioned in 1355.

At the Reformation, in 1536, the castle was transferred to the Danish crown because it was destroyed by fire, and was therefore not rebuilt.

In 1899 and 1902 the German emperor Wilhelm II spent time there, hunting deer.

It has a style reminiscent of French Baroque with a two-story main building, three towers, all three-storied, as well as two detached single-story wings.
