History
Norwegian businessman Niels Georg Sorensen commissioned Torreby Slott in 1887, on Sweden's west coast at Fiskebackskil. Architect Adolf Emil Melander, who also did the Fersen Palace on Stockholm's Blasieholmen, drew the castle. The family held it until 1948.
Stig Widell bought the estate and in 1960 turned farmland and orchards into a golf course. The club opened in 1961, first nine holes, later eighteen, remembered as Sweden's oldest golf club on its own ground. The castle now keeps rooms as an Ascend Collection hotel beside the fairways.
You sleep in a west-coast castle that traded orchards for greens and kept the house.
