In German further down

Gurrehus is not far from the much-visited castle ruins. The origins go back several centuries. It was rebuilt in 1881 in the style of Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen. In 1914, Prince George of Greece became the new owner and the castle was rebuilt in neoclassical style. During World War II, it was used by the German occupying forces and then by the Red Cross. After Prince Georg's death in 1959, the Danish military took over the building and used it as an officers' school and course location. During the Cold War, the National Police set up a command post in a specially protected basement. In 1999, the state abandoned the property, and a construction company left the building empty for years. In 2012, the house was renovated by a new owner and has since been used as a private residence.
