Gammel Estrup, Renaissance manor house and nobility museum in Norddjurs Municipality, Denmark.
The red brick estate includes Gothic architectural elements, with two main wings connected by a central section featuring multiple towers and decorative gables.
Construction of the current structure began in 1490 by nobleman Lave Eskesen Brock, who established a moated fortress on foundations dating back to 1340.
The museum exhibitions present furnished rooms from different centuries, displaying the living conditions of both nobility and household staff in Danish manors.
The manor opens daily from 10 AM to 5 PM between mid-April and mid-October, with additional access throughout the year except for January closures.
The estate maintains detailed diaries from Eske Brock, a minister and friend of King Christian IV, documenting Danish noble life in the early 17th century.
