Fairytale Egeskov
Egeskov Castle is the most well preserved Renaissance water castle, i.e., a castle sitting on pillars in the water. Egeskov is truly a fairytale castle filled with secrets and mystique. True, there are no definite accounts of ghosts, and yet… someone has heard strange sounds coming from the parade amour on display. In the castle attic is a small wooden man. Legend has it that the castle will crash into the moat on Christmas Eve if he were ever moved. We are not superstitious, yet I do not dare move it.
You will also find the Falck Museum, which is a collection of fire trucks and ambulances, the oldest stemming from the 1920s. The Vintage Museum, which contains a large collection of airplanes and cars. Some of the vintage cars go all the way back to 1800. The Motorcycle Museum, which is a collection of old motorcycles and mopeds.
Egeskov is open from the end of April until the end of October. However, it takes a break from its ‘hibernation’ in November, when the doors of the castle are thrown open for a special Christmas Market.
