Egeskov Castle is a major tourist attraction in Denmark because it is the most beautiful and best-preserved moated castle in all of Europe. For over 450 years, Egeskov has been situated in a scenic setting in the south of the island of Funen. The main building, completely surrounded by water, was built by Frands Brockenhuus and completed in 1554. He was a wealthy landowner and needed a fortress that was difficult to conquer to protect against raids, so he had it built in the middle of a marshy area. To fortify the foundation, an entire oak forest was felled, and the piles were driven into the lake bed. The castle is surrounded by a unique and award-winning park that immediately captivates every visitor.

The castle was built in late Gothic style from 1554 and has 66 rooms. Today it is owned by Count Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille.

What there is also to discover not far: In Egeskov there is the supposedly largest and most fairytale-like doll's house in the world, the Titania's Palace. Here you can see, among other things, a paper doll designed by Hans Christian Andersen in 1860.
