Schæffergården, Rococo mansion in Jægersborg, Denmark

The Schæffergården mansion stands on Jægersborg Allé, featuring decorative elements and architectural details characteristic of 1750s Danish construction methods and design.

Court carpenter Dietrich Schäffer constructed this country house between 1755 and 1756, initially planning to sell it to the king as a replacement for the Ibstrup hunting lodge.

The Foundation for Danish-Norwegian Cooperation maintains this property as a center for educational and cultural exchange between Denmark and Norway since the 1940s.

Located 15 kilometers north of Copenhagen, the mansion currently functions as a conference center with dedicated spaces for meetings, student housing, and office facilities.

Prince Harald of Denmark resided in this mansion, which later became the birthplace of Prince Gorm and underwent renovations by renowned architect Kaare Klint.
