On the banks of the scenic Gudenå River in Favrskov, just a short drive from Randers and Langå, lies Ulstrup Castle. This historic castle is not just a building, but a living time capsule of Danish history. With its impressive Renaissance splendor and charming manor house atmosphere, it invites you to take an unforgettable journey into the past.

The history of Ulstrup Manor can be traced back to the end of the 14th century, when the first farm was built by the Brandsen family. In 1404, Jens Nielsen (Løvenbalk), Aunsbjerg, received Ulstrup as a pledge, and two years later parts of the estate were given to Queen Margrete.

At the end of the 16th century, Privy Councilor Christen Skeel (1543-1595), who became the actual founder of the main farm, acquired several farms in and around Ulstrup. Construction of the farm began around 1590 under the direction of Christen Skeel, and the low north wing that you see today dates from that time.

Ulstrup Castle dates back to the great Renaissance castle that Christen Skeel's son, Rigsmarsk Jørgen Skeel, had built in the early 17th century. Today the castle consists of three wings and includes around 700 hectares of land, mainly forest, that make up the estate.

Ulstrup Castle is now run as a foundation whose aim is to restore and preserve the castle's buildings and to promote the castle's cultural value. In addition, rooms are made available for artistic and cultural purposes, making Ulstrup a lively center for history and creativity.

Every year you can attend various exciting events at Ulstrup Castle. These include concerts, theater and exhibitions organized by associations, theater and music ensembles, companies and private organizers.
