Kastrupgård, Manor house in Kastrup, Denmark
Kastrupgård is a manor house in Kastrup featuring rococo elements with symmetrical wings and detailed stonework built from local materials. The main building follows classical proportions and now serves as a museum open to the public.
Jacob Fortling, a royal master builder and sculptor for the Danish court, designed and built this estate between 1749 and 1753. The property was later acquired by the municipality and has served as a cultural institution ever since.
The collection inside displays modern art and graphic works gathered by the municipality since 1970. Visitors encounter pieces by Danish and international artists that reflect contemporary creative expression.
The house is located at Kastrupvej 399 and invites visitors to explore both the historical architecture and modern art collections on display. The exhibition halls are easily accessible and provide a comfortable visiting experience.
The estate houses a substantial collection of works by painter Theodor Philipsen alongside historical faiences from the nearby Kastrup Pottery and Tile Works. This connection reveals the local artistic heritage deeply rooted in the region.
