Castles and Manor Houses of Funen

Funen’s landscape is defined by its density of aristocratic estates, ranging from Egeskov’s iconic Renaissance water castle to the medieval fortifications of Nyborg. This collection features Denmark’s oldest Renaissance building at Hesselagergård and the historic ramparts of Ørkild. Many of these sites, such as Hvedholm and Steensgaard, now serve as manor house hotels, while others like Odense Palace reflect the island's royal history and transition from monastic origins to crown property.
