Voergaard Castle

The white castle rises above a wide moat, featuring meter-thick walls, symmetrical towers, and decorative elements characteristic of Renaissance architecture.

Ingeborg Skeel, who acquired the estate in 1578, transformed the medieval structure into the current Renaissance castle, completing construction in 1588.

The castle museum displays an extensive collection of European art, including works by Goya, Rubens, and Raphael, along with furniture from French monarchs.

The castle opens for guided tours during summer months, offering visitors access to period rooms, art collections, and historical exhibits throughout multiple floors.

Local folklore tells of the castle architect's death in the moat, reportedly ordered by Ingeborg Skeel to prevent him from creating similar designs elsewhere.
