Jagtslottet
Discover the idyllic Jagtslottet in Mols Bjerge National Park – a small hunting lodge from 1898-99 with views of coves, forests and the famous Kalø Castle ruins.
The hunting lodge
The hunting lodge was built in 1898-99 by the German Jenisch family, who owned Kalø Manor from 1824 to 1945. The architecture was designed by Hack Kampmann, known for his striking buildings in the Aarhus area.
Artistic decoration
Inside, the castle walls are adorned with frescoes and wood carvings by the artist Carl Hansen Reistrup. The motifs are inspired by Norse mythology and the surrounding nature – including Odin's son Vidar and the tree of life Yggdrasil.
Visits and nature
Although the castle is administered by the Danish Nature Agency and is not normally open to the public, guided tours are arranged in the summer. Outside the summer season, tours can be booked for groups. Outside the premises, there is free access – and an obvious starting point for a walk and coffee in the open air.
Practical information:
- There is parking at Grenåvej 14, 8410 Rønde.
- It is possible to look inside the hunting lodge when people are working in the National Park Secretariat.
