Egelund House

Egelund House features exterior walls that merge with the natural surroundings, combining traditional Danish architectural elements with Art Nouveau characteristics throughout its structure.

Danish architect Carl Harild completed the construction of Egelund House in 1917 after receiving a commission from Queen Dowager Louise following the death of King Frederik VIII.

The residence transformed from a royal dwelling into a congress center in 1954 when Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening acquired the property for professional development activities.

Located 35 kilometers north of Copenhagen near Lake Esrom, visitors can reach the property via Hillerødvejen 92, with parking facilities available on site.

The garden design combines the work of landscape architect Edvard Glæsel with contributions from gardener Hansen, creating distinct seasonal botanical displays around the property.
