Egholm

The main building of Egholm features white-rendered walls across two stories, complemented by a symmetrical design and topped with a prominent hip roof.

Wolfgang Haffner acquired the property in 1812 and transformed it into a family trust, overseeing the construction of the current main building and expansion of the grounds.

The architectural elements of Egholm reflect the early 19th-century Danish preference for Neoclassical design, emphasizing clean lines and balanced proportions throughout the structure.

Located 60 kilometers west of Copenhagen, the estate encompasses 770 hectares of land and includes several protected structures dating from different periods.

The estate houses the Egholm Museum, which displays an extensive collection of firearms and military artifacts, with particular focus on World War II equipment.
