Boller, Medieval castle near Horsens Fjord, Denmark
Boller is a medieval castle near Horsens Fjord in Denmark with four wings arranged around a central courtyard. The grounds contain extensive gardens planted with fruit and fig trees, medicinal herbs, a Japanese section with a lake, and flowering beds of fuchsias, roses, and geraniums.
The castle is first documented in 1350 as a possession of Otte Limbek before passing into the hands of various noble families, including the Rosenkrantz dynasty. These ownership changes shaped how the property developed over the following centuries.
The gardens blend local and exotic plants in ways that visitors naturally encounter while walking through the grounds. The design guides people through different areas that feel connected to one another.
The castle building itself is closed to visitors, but the gardens are open daily from April through October between 10:00 and 20:00. Wear sturdy shoes as you will be walking through the grounds to explore the different garden sections.
The grounds contain a hollow oak tree roughly 1000 years old from the Viking Age, with views toward the moat filled with large carp. This ancient tree is one of the few remaining elements that directly connects visitors to the earliest days of the site.
