Örenäs Castle (Swedish: Örenäs slott) is a stately mansion at Landskrona Municipality in Scania, Sweden. It is situated approximately 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) from the center of Landskrona.
The building as it looks today was built in 1914–1918, when Swedish engineer and industrialist Carl Tranchell (1849-1919) had it constructed.
It was designed to resemble a Baroque style castle by architect Fredrik Sundbärg (1860-1913).
During World War II, Danish and Estonian refugees were hosted here. In 1970, the building was renovated and became a public facility.
It and surrounding buildings are now a hotel (with 115 rooms) and conference centre with a public restaurant.
