Stora Herrestad

The guest house in Stora Herrestad is one of the oldest in Scania, and dates back to the 1600s. The old stable, which now serves as our banquet room, was used by travellers on their long journeys and the old main building, where the restaurant is now located, was the courthouse.

In the 1780s the old main building was destroyed by fire, but was then rebuilt as an inn during the 1800s. The courthouse was relocated across the road and is now a museum. The hotel, with its metre thick walls, was the prison during a period in the 1800`s.

During most of the 1900s the main building was the town grocery store, but in 1989 opened again as the inn in Stora Herrestad.
