Meilgaard Castle, Manor house in Glesborg Parish, Norddjurs Municipality, Denmark
The castle stands on an estate of 2070 hectares, with 543 hectares of farmland and 1220 hectares of forest between Fjellerup Strand and Bønnerup Strand.
First mentioned as Medelgård in 1345, the current structure dates from 1573 and underwent major renovations in 1873 and again from 1888 to 1891.
The estate maintains its agricultural traditions while adapting to modern times, with five private apartments created within the castle and a restaurant in a former farm building.
The castle remains privately owned by Michael F. Iuel and Princess Désirée of Schaumburg-Lippe, who returned to live there after restoration following a 2003 fire.
The coastal forest of Nederskov near the castle contains the first scientifically excavated kitchen midden, studied by the National Museum of Denmark in 1848.
