This monolithic castle, along with its neighboring stables and park, is among Denmark's oldest and most comprehensive Baroque estates. It was built in the 1690's for Lord Chancellor Count Conrad Reventlow. An interesting fact in the history is that Reventlow's daughter Anna Sophie and King Frederick IV eloped here. The castle houses Denmark's oldest organ and includes numerous unaltered interiors, including the original stucco ceilings. The chapel has retained the same interior since its completion for Queen Anna Sophie and her court.
