We stayed here on 26th May 2024 and was met with the owners ferocious dog running free to attack our dog..Despite asking the owner to keep him tethered the next morning my partner took our dog for a walk on her lead and was viciously attacked by the owners dog running loose again. My partner was desperatel trying to keep our dog safe and tried to grab the other dog to keep him away from our dog. The dog dragged him to the gravel path causing his right arm to be cut and bleed profusely. His knuckles were so torn and bloody it looked as though he had been in a boxing match.. His scars didn't heal for several weeks. The owner apologised, however, be warned, this place is NOT dog friendly. Jan Taylor

Spend a night in a medieval museum. An amazing place complete with a very nice breakfast served by fireside in a 300 year old room.

A run down 15th century farm that graduated to being a fort. It is in the process of renovation (owners been at it for over 20 years), so has a run down feel to it. It is cute and with a bit of imagination and eye for how the peasents lived it can be very interesting.

A beautiful castle, full of history. It is in the middle of a very rustic village. Truly a wonderful location to spend a weekend on.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
