Broholm Castle is located in the beautiful landscape of South Funen.
With its towers, moat, and park, it seems to have stepped straight out of a fairytale.
Broholm's history can be dated back to 1326. Over time, the castle changed owners several times, finally coming into the possession of the Sehested family in 1730, to whom it now belongs in the 13th generation.
The castle gave its name to a rare Danish dog breed, the Broholmer.
Chamberlain N.F.B. Sehested bred this breed until 1850, thus ensuring its spread in Denmark.
Broholm Castle is incredibly idyllic with a park, a manor lake, moats and a watermill just west of Nyborg-Svendborg Road (163) halfway between Hesselager and Oure. In front of the castle lake is the museum "Chamberlain N.F.B. Sehested's Collection of Antiques" with 60,000 ancient artifacts, now run by Museum Svendborg & Surroundings. visitsvendborg.de/svendborg/svendborg/broholm-slot-gdk1088307
The over 700-year-old Broholm Castle, with its park and small lake, is located in the middle of a beautiful landscape. Today it also houses a hotel and a restaurant.
