Reventlow-Museet Pederstrup

The Reventlow Museum occupies a Neoclassical manor house with symmetrical wings, displaying furnishings and personal objects from different periods across multiple rooms. The spaces showcase everyday items and objects from the family's private living quarters.

First documented in the 1340s, the estate underwent major renovation between 1813 and 1822, transforming from a half-timbered building into the Neoclassical structure visitors see today. This rebuild made it a grand residence for the noble families of the 1800s.

The collection includes portraits by renowned Danish painters such as Jens Juel and C.A. Jensen, showing nobility from the 1800s. These paintings offer insight into how the wealthy families who lived here saw themselves and their status.

The rooms are lit by natural daylight, so visiting on clear days provides the best viewing experience. Plan enough time to walk through the different levels and wear comfortable shoes.

The basement level preserves details about a major 1918 celebration that hosted 400 guests, including records of the menu served and the duties of household staff. This collection reveals how such grand occasions were managed during that era.
