Hermitage Hunting Lodge, Royal hunting lodge in Dyrehaven, Denmark

The baroque-style lodge stands on an elevated position in Dyrehaven, offering a direct view of the Øresund strait and surrounding deer park.

Architect Lauritz de Thurah constructed this baroque palace in 1736 for King Christian VI, featuring materials such as gold, silver, and marble throughout.

The palace represents Danish royal hunting traditions from the 18th century, when aristocrats gathered here for seasonal hunting expeditions in Dyrehaven.

Visitors can access the lodge through guided tours from June 1 to August 31, with English language tours available every Saturday at 3 PM.

The original dining room contained a mechanical lift system that raised fully set tables from the basement, allowing kings to dine without servants present.
