Selsø, Manor house in Skibby, Denmark

The Renaissance castle features a knight's hall adorned with paintings by Hendrick Krock and stands near a lake with river access to Roskilde Fjord.

Jakob Ulfeldt constructed the manor house in 1570, with Christian Ludvig von Plessen later transforming it into its current Baroque form in the 18th century.

The interior displays architectural elements from multiple periods, including Renaissance outer walls, Baroque decorations, and Empire-style southern chambers with French wallpaper.

The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM, offering guided tours through restored rooms and exhibitions about Danish noble life.

After standing abandoned for 144 years until 1972, volunteers carefully restored the manor house, transforming former grain storage and dog kennels into museum spaces.

Opening Hours: Mardi-Dimanche 11:00-16:00
