Lykkesholm, Medieval castle near Ørbæk, Denmark

The yellow manor house stands on the island of Funen, surrounded by a moat and forests, approximately 21 kilometers southeast of Odense.

Originally named Magelund in 1329, the castle received its current name Lykkesholm in 1380 and underwent major renovations between 1784 and 1786.

The Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen made multiple visits to Lykkesholm Castle, establishing its connection to Danish literary heritage.

The castle functions as a hotel with 28 double rooms, offering conference facilities and views of the surrounding moat and forested grounds.

The castle maintains an active breeding farm while simultaneously operating as a hospitality venue, combining agricultural heritage with modern functions.
