Hvedholm Castle

Hvedholm is a Renaissance castle on the island of Funen featuring a large park with multiple buildings arranged across the grounds. The main residence is complemented by separate structures that together function as a hotel operation.

Construction began in the 15th century, followed by substantial rebuilding after a fire in 1681. Another major renovation took place in the late 1800s.

The castle served as a seat of the Brahe family, who shaped the region over many generations and maintained ties to the local community. Visitors today can sense this long presence through the layout of rooms and buildings across the estate.

The estate operates as a hotel with rooms distributed across the main building and separate structures throughout the park. Guests should note that accommodations are spread across different buildings, requiring some walking between locations.

The castle was used as a filming location for the Danish television series 'Forræder', bringing contemporary attention to the historical property. This connection to modern productions has helped anchor the estate in current cultural awareness.
