Dragsholm Castle
The gate to Odsherred
Just an hour from the vibrant city of Copenhagen and Aarhus among green fields and the serenity of Danish nature lies the idyllic Dragsholm Castle.
For more than 800 years the history of raging wars, prisoners being taking across the cobbles courtyard, and nobility getting married in the castle church has been taking place at this historic place.
Now a days guests can immerse themselves in tranquility and enjoy the majestic castle as a hotel experience in addition to it’s renowned restaurants. Aesthetics and history go hand in hand in these unique surroundings, where visitors have the chance to pamper themselves with a hot shower under the classic Christiansborg series in one of the baroque inspired rooms.
Like many other historic castles in Denmark, Dragsholm Castle features our Christiansborg fixtures in brass. The beautiful and naturally occuring patina tells the tale of many centuries of inherent history.
Beneath whitewashed vaults and open flames from the fireplace, a Michelin experience is found in the basement. A place which aesthetically embodies the roots of the castle.
A more modern atmosphere can be enjoyed in one of Dragsholm's newer restaurants, where finesse, nature and local ingredients create coherence for not only the food but also the decor in the restaurants.
Rooted in traditional craftsmanship, the philosophy of the kitchen is utilizing herbs from the castle's nearby herb garden as well as local seasonal vegetables from Lammefjorden and the surrounding forest, fields and seaside.
