Frieboeshvile, 1758 Baroque house museum in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark
Frieboeshvile is a white brick house with a black mansard roof and sandstone details built in the late 18th century in Lyngby. The building shows the craftsmanship of that era through its architectural features and now functions as a museum for visitors.
The house was originally called Vildnisset and was bought in 1782 by shipping agent Andreas Bodenhoff. It later passed to Frederik Caspar Conrad Frieboe through marriage and took his name.
The house displays furnishings and objects from around 1800 that show how wealthy Copenhagen residents decorated their summer homes. You can see how this family lived through real items from their daily life.
The museum is located on Lyngby Hovedgade across from Sorgenfri Palace and is easy to find. The rooms are manageable in size and give you a good sense of the collection.
The garden holds the burial site of General Frieboe, a personal memorial on the grounds. An 18th-century grotto also remains on the property, which once connected to a fruit storage cellar.
