VALDEMAR CASTLE (VALDEMARS SLOT)

Superb site and the largest private castle of the kingdom, even though the main building is not as spectacular as that of Egeskov. Built in the 34 th century by Christian IV for his natural son Parliamentary, he was more interested in his career in the navy than by his castle and died at years before he was able to enjoy it. It was then offered to the Niels Juel national hero in 1678 thanks for his exploits against the Swedes. They are descendants of the war hero who currently occupies and manages the castle. It looks like a large bourgeois house in red brick and grey roof. An inner courtyard is drawn by the dependencies that form a U around the castle and which are occupied by other small museums. Four fifths of this court is filled with an artificial lake in rectangular format. Facing the castle, a tea salon and the sea. A superb view, a refined combination, a balanced ensemble, this is the rachète of this castle, which can be visited by many rooms entirely decorated in styles ranging from the th century to the first half of the th century from the ground floor (kitchen and employee's apartments) on the last floor where stuffed animals from all over the world and inherited from the Børge Hinsch Foundation. Between these two extremes, a magnificent hall, charming lounges, rooms and reception rooms where artists are sometimes invited to exhibit.
