Sophienholm

The white mansion sits on the northern shore of Lake Bagsværd, featuring classical architecture with symmetrical wings and large windows facing the water.

Johan Theodor Holmskiold constructed the original country house in 1769, naming it after his wife Sophie before Constantin Brun rebuilt it at the 19th century start.

Between 1800 and 1835, the mansion became a central meeting point for Danish Golden Age artists, writers, composers, and members of the royal family.

The museum presents temporary art exhibitions throughout the year, with guided tours available and a café serving refreshments in the historic setting.

The property contains a former woodland hut that served as a meeting place for CoBrA artists in the 1940s, now transformed into a museum annex.
