Gyldensteen

Gyldensteen is a manor house in Nordfyn Municipality with a Renaissance main wing dating from 1640 and two side wings connected by taller structures added around 1800. The property sits on open land with cultivated areas surrounding the central building.

The estate first appeared in records under the name Enggaard in 1409. It was renamed Gyldensteen in 1720 when Jean Henri Huguetan d'Odyck was granted a count title.

The grounds blend different gardening traditions, with mature trees and open spaces that frame the Renaissance building. Walking around reveals layers of how people shaped this land over time.

The manor house is not open to the public, but you can view it from the main road nearby. The best view of the building and its extensions is from the roadside area.

The estate continues to function as a working farm specializing in onions and pumpkins. This ongoing agricultural use shows how manor houses in this region remained tied to farming traditions.
