Clausholm Castle is a large Danish country house located some 12 km southeast of Randers in eastern Jutland. It is one of Denmark's finest Baroque buildings.
History[edit]
The castle's origins appear to go back to the 12th century but it is first mentioned in the 14th century when its owner, Lage Ovesen, was one of the leaders of the Jute uprising against Valdemar Atterdag. At the time, Clausholm was a four-winged building surrounded by a moat. But when the first Danish Prime Minister, Grand Chancellor Conrad von Reventlow, acquired the property in the 1690s, it was in such a sorry state that he pulled it down and had today's two-storeyed, three-winged building constructed in its place. It was designed by Danish architect Ernst Brandenburger with the assistance of the Swede Nicodemus Tessin the Younger.[1]
The castle was designed so that the Grand Chancellor could live on the ground floor while the second floor, with higher and more decorative ceilings, was intended for royal visitors. Both the castle and the park are among Denmark's earliest and finest from the Baroque period.
It was thanks to Reventlow's daughter, Anna Sophie Reventlow, that the castle gained fame when she was abducted by an amorous king, Frederick IV. Anna Sophie became his queen in 1721 but when he died in 1730, she returned to Clausholm with her court.
It is also used for Den Store Bagedyst, a baking competition broadcast on DR1
In the castle's chapel, decorated by Anna Sophie, is one of Denmark's oldest organs built around 1700 by the Botzen brothers from Copenhagen.[2]
Restoration[edit]
As there was no running water or electricity at the castle, for many years it was only inhabited during the summer. But in 1964, the new owners, Henrik and Ruth Berner, modernised the facilities with the result that the castle came back to life.
Restoration work continued for a considerable period, great care being taken to protect the historical building which had remained practically untouched since the 1730s. The efforts were rewarded in 1994 when Queen Margrethe presented the castle with the Europa Nostra Prize for outstanding heritage work.
Park and estate[edit]
The large Baroque park with its fountains and avenues was designed in the 18th century. In 2009, with the support of the Realdania Foundation, the park was thoroughly renovated.[3]
The 900-hectare estate includes Schildenseje, Sophie-Amaliegård, Sophienlund and Estrupgård.

Clausholm Castle was built in the 1690s by the Chancellor, Count Conrad Reventlow, and with its 14 stucco ceilings, painted panelling and fine interiors, it soon became renowned as one of the most beautiful baroque palaces in Denmark. And it still is.
Clausholm has now been fully restored into a baroque castle and furnished with original furniture from the 1700s. The castle is surrounded by a lush baroque garden with avenues and cascading fountains.
The decoration at Clausholm was the responsibility of a number of famed and highly skilled contemporary artists from all over Europe - among them the Italian artist Carlo Tagliati, who completed the beautifully ornate ceiling in the Garden Room in 1697.
A visit to Clausholm allows you to experience the baroque period at its height. The castle boasts northern Europe's largest number of stucco ceilings, and received the Europa Nostra Award for the restoration of the palace and gardens in 1993.
