Sæbygård, Renaissance castle near Sæby, Denmark
Sæbygård is a brick manor house with a central risalit located near Sæby. The complex includes two lower buildings and a wall that enclose a courtyard in the middle.
The property passed from the Børglum diocese to the Danish crown after the Reformation in 1536. Admiral Otte Rud acquired it in 1560 and shaped its development for years to come.
The museum inside displays portraits and furniture showing three centuries of Danish noble life and taste. These works reveal how the residents furnished their homes and what they valued aesthetically over time.
Guided tours run during July, while visits outside this period can be arranged by contacting ahead. It is best to confirm availability before planning your visit to the property.
The stair tower features bricks arranged in a pattern that mimics dressed stone masonry. This careful arrangement creates a visual illusion that demonstrates the skill of the builders.
