Bygholm Castle, Manor house in Horsens, Denmark

The main building features a one-story central wing accompanied by two lower L-shaped side wings in symmetrical baroque architectural design from 1775.

King Eric VI Menved ordered the construction of the original castle in 1313 following peasant uprisings in the Jutland region of Denmark.

The estate grounds now serve as a public park where local residents gather for community events, fairs, and outdoor recreational activities.

The castle building, owned by Horsens Municipality, operates as a hotel while the farm structures house the Bygholm Research Centre of Aarhus University.

Erik Lange, a former resident of Bygholm Castle, belonged to astronomer Tycho Brahe's social circle before financial difficulties forced him to abandon the property.
