Egeskov Slot
Egeskov Slot
Egeskov Castle, complete with moat and drawbridge, is a Renaissance gem. Built in 1554, in the middle of a small lake, Egeskov rests on a foundation of thousands of upright oak trunks. The expansive park includes century-old privet hedges, free-roaming peacocks, a topiary and manicured English gardens.
The interior has antique furnishings, grand period paintings and an abundance of hunting trophies. For those who enjoy labyrinths, there’s a 200-year-old bamboo maze. Also on the grounds is an antique car museum, which displays about 300 period cars.
