Vallø Castle, Renaissance castle in Valløby, Denmark

The four-wing castle structure stands on a small island, surrounded by a moat and features prominent corner towers at each end.

Construction of the current castle began in 1586 under Mette Rosenkrantz, with additional wings and towers added during the 16th and 17th centuries.

Queen Sophie Magdalene established the Vallø Trust in 1737 to provide residence and support for unmarried daughters of Danish noble families.

While the castle interior remains private, visitors can explore the courtyard from 10 AM to 6 PM and the surrounding park from 8 AM until sunset.

The estate spans 4,109 hectares, including 1,860 hectares of forest, generating income through agriculture, forestry, rentals, and a campground near Køge.
