Gammel Estrup The Danish Manor & Estate Museum
At Gammel Estrup Danmarks Herregårdsmuseum, the Manor Museum, you step directly into history. Here you can experience how counts and countesses lived everyday life and celebrations in the manor's grandly decorated halls and parlours.
You get to see the rather more humble living and working quarters of the servants, as well, or you can go for a walk in the forest and see how the family of a woodsman used to live.
Come and Experience Life Around the Manor
During the summer months and in the weeks before Christmas, activities are put on especially for children. Here, you can test yourself in the different aspects of manor life, the manor kitchen is open, and you can taste the maid’s cooking and baked goods directly from the wood-fired stove.
Go for a walk in the lovely manor garden, where you will come across many different flowers, an apple orchard, an orangery, and a big playground equipped with nature’s own materials.
Bring the whole family for an exciting historical experience at Gammel Estrup.
Practical information
Dogs are allowed in the outdoor areas of the museum, provided they are kept on a lead. Dogs are not allowed indoors, unless it is a guide dog. There is a water bowl in the courtyard.
Gammel Estrup is a historic, listed building. The building does not live up to modern standards in terms of access, accessibility and comfort. You should therefore exercise caution both inside and out.
