Egeskov Castle
Egeskov Gade 18, 5772 Kvæ rndrup, Denmark
Description:
In the vicinity of Odense is a unique attraction - the castle of Egeskov. It is thirty kilometers from the city, near Kverndrup. The name of the castle in Russian means “oak forest”. Egeskov Castle rises in the middle of the lake. In order to make this possible, the builders hammered thousands of oak pillars into the bottom of the lake, which served as the foundation for the future castle.
Egeskov Castle consists of two buildings connected by a thick double wall. The interior of the castle amazes with the beauty of its decoration. Paintings, old furniture, all sorts of hunting trophies – all this is imbued with majestic sophistication and aristocracy.
The lake on which the castle stands is surrounded by a botanical garden where stunning orchids bloom.
