Engelsholm Castle, Manor house in Vejle Municipality, Denmark.

The castle stands with four corner towers topped by onion domes, featuring white-washed walls and a black-glazed tile roof near Engelsholm Lake.

Built in 1592 by Knud Brahe, brother of astronomer Tycho Brahe, the castle underwent renovation to baroque style under Gerhard de Lichtenberg around 1740.

The castle functions as a folk high school since 1939, offering specialized courses in music and visual arts to students from different backgrounds.

Located 14 kilometers west of Vejle at Engelsholmvej 6, the castle provides student accommodation and educational facilities in its restored buildings.

Admiral Niels Juel owned the estate from 1784 to 1786, before its transformation from an aristocratic residence to an educational institution in the 20th century.
