History
editIn the early 17th century, Danish councilor Anders Sinclair, sheriff at Landskrona, is mentioned as the owner of Kronovall.
Kronovall was sold in 1668 to Swedish nobleman Gustaf Persson Banér (1618–1689), Governor General of Scania. The main building has two floors and was built in 1760. It was rebuilt in 1896 by Carl Gustaf Sparre in French Baroque style with tower-bearing wings, after drawings by Isak Gustaf Clason (1856–1930). [2] [3] [4][5]
