Nivaagaard, Manor house in Nivå, Denmark

The Nivaagaard manor features a main building constructed in 1881, designed by architect Ferdinand Vilhelm Jensen following a destructive fire in 1873.

Johannes Hage inherited the property in 1872 and transformed it into a cultural institution by establishing an art collection between 1895 and 1905.

The museum houses European Renaissance paintings, Dutch Baroque artworks, and Danish Golden Age masterpieces, including works by Rembrandt and Giovanni Bellini.

Visitors can explore both the art collection and the surrounding garden, which contains numerous old trees and an extensive rhododendron collection planted in 2007.

The estate operated a brickyard from 1701, producing materials for royal buildings in Copenhagen until its closure in 1980, when it became a museum.

Location: Fredensborg Municipality

Inception: 1881
