The summer residence of the Danish royal family consists of a palace, a spacious courtyard with the royal stables and picturesque gardens. Only the historic palace chapel and garden are open to public guided tours. They are closed if the royal family is on the property.
The history of the palace dates back to the mid-16th century. It was then built here as a small hunting lodge. In the following centuries it was expanded, and its present appearance is due to a thorough reconstruction in the first half of the 20th century. It is decorated with an almost completely white facade with Venetian doors.
The chapel open to tourists is located in the northern wing. It is the only remnant of a baroque palace that was destroyed in a fire in 1757. It houses a collection of 80 historic paintings.
