Nice destination. Even a small beach is available, the toilets are clean.There are signposted hiking trails around the castle, and the Ambrosius oak and the sequoia are not to be missed.

The castle is located on the site of the medieval castle Kærsgård. King Christian IV partially had this demolished when he had the palace built from 1639 to 1644 for his son Valdemar Christian from his second marriage to Kirsten Munk. The remains of the castle were integrated into the new building. The castle was built in the classic Renaissance style.
