Vilhelmsborg

Vilhelmsborg is a three-story manor house built on a granite foundation with Neoclassical design elements from the 1840s. The building features formal architectural proportions and anchors a larger complex that includes riding facilities, exhibition rooms, and training grounds.

The property began when Gabriel Marselis received land as compensation in the 1660s, triggering a gradual transformation of the farmstead. The current manor was built in the 1840s on a site where an earlier Renaissance structure had stood.

The manor has drawn creative minds over generations who found inspiration in its setting and surroundings. Today visitors can sense this appeal when walking through the grounds and taking in the views across the landscape.

The site includes multiple riding halls, training grounds, and exhibition spaces arranged across a substantial property. Plan to spend time walking the grounds, as the facilities are spread out and best explored at a leisurely pace.

The estate spreads across a large tract of land where the physical remains of a Renaissance fortress still lie beneath the surface. Walking the grounds, visitors stand unknowingly above these hidden archaeological layers from several centuries ago.
