Tranekær Slot, Medieval castle in Tranekær, Denmark
The red-painted castle rises on a 20-meter-high bank surrounded by moats, featuring restored double rooms and agricultural grounds spanning 1,733 hectares.
The castle originated between 1131 and 1182 under King Valdemar the Great, serving as a strategic stronghold until suffering damage during the Swedish wars of 1650.
The Ahlefeldt-Laurvig family maintains the castle as both a residence and an agricultural enterprise, producing seeds, grains, and managing forestry operations.
While the main building remains closed to regular visitors, guided tours provide access to the castle interior and opportunities to learn about its extensive history.
The basement contains structural remains from the early Middle Ages, marking Tranekær Slot as Denmark's oldest inhabited residential building.
