Ulriksholm is a privately owned castle that formerly belonged to the illegitimate king's son, Ulrik Christian Gyldenløv.

In 1616, King Christian IV purchased the main estate of Skinnerup at the foot of Kerteminde Nor. In 1632, the king decided to build new stately buildings

as a residence for the illegitimate king's then two-year-old son, Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve. Therefore, the castle's name was changed to Ulriksholm.

After the death of Christian IV, his lover and mother of Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve, Vibeke Kruse, fell into disgrace. After her death, Vibeke Kruse was buried on a poor farm outside the city walls of Copenhagen. However, Ulrik Christian Gyldenløve ensured that his mother's body was brought to Kølstrup Church.

He himself died at the age of just 28 after a brave service in the Swedish War.

The castle is now privately owned. There is no public access to the castle or gardens, except during the castle's open garden events and when visiting the castle as part of the Herregårdsspil (Herregårds Festival).
