Castles and manors

Djursland's history is closely connected to the many castles and manors, that are located in the area. Gammel Estrup - the manor museum lays beautiful placed on north Djursland by Auning, and the manor is one of Denmark's best-preserved Renaissance castles.

Also, visit the nearby Rosenholm castle. The castle is standing fully furnished, just as when the last Baron and Baronesse lived in the castle. You can see lots of furniture, paintings, and tapestries, and get a good impression of a noble family's life over the centuries.
