It Slot Egeskov is in wetterboarch yn Kværndrup súdlik fan Ringen yn de gemeente Faaborg-Midtfyn, Denemark. It slot is ien fan Jeropa's bêst bewarre wetterboargen en waard yn 1554 boud troch ryksmaarskalk Frands Brockenhuus (1518–1569). It tsjintwurdich 1.137 hektare grutte lângoed sels is âlder en datearret út de 14e iuw.

Skiednis[bewurkje seksje boarne bewurkje]

De earst bekende eigner fan it lângoed wie in lid fan it skaai Skinkel yn it begjin fan de jierren 1400. Yn dy tiid hiet it goed Egeskovgaard. It skaai Skinkel besiet it goed foar mear as 150 jier, mar troch in houlik mei Anne Tinhuus Skinkel yn 1545 kaam it yn hannen fan Frands Brockenhuus, dy't it hjoeddeiske wetterslot yn renêssânse styl bouwe liet.

Troch de politike ûnrêst, de reformaasje en de boargerkriich fan 1534 oant 1536 lieten in soad grutgrûnbesitters yn dy tiid harren hûzen ferbouwe ta in dreech yn te nimmen fêsting. Dat die ek Frands Brockenhuus, dy't syn boarch midden yn in grutte fiver boude. Neffens de oerlevering moast it slot op sa'n soad iken peallen boud wurde, dat dêr it hiele ikebosk foar nedich wie, itjinge de namme Egeskov (oers.: Ikewâld) ferklearret.

Oant 1784 bleau Egeskov yn hannen fan it neiteam fan Brockenhuus. Yn 1784 kocht Henrik Bille-Brahe (1709–1789) it slot, dy't út it aadlik skaai Bille stamde. Oant 1882 bleau it slot yn it besit fan de famylje Bille-Brahe, doe't it oerdien waard oan Julius Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille. Hy liet it slot troch de Sweedske arsjitekt Helgo Zettervall renovearje. De spitsen fan de toer waarden verhege, de trepgevels rekonstruearre en it poartegebou waard boud. Noch jimmeroan is syn neiteam yn it besit fan it slot. Sûnt 1986 is it slot iepensteld foar toeristen.

It wichtichste diel fan de museale gebouwen is it slot sels. Yn it slot binne tsjien pronkkeamers oer twa etaazjes en in útstalling ûnder it dak te sjen. Meubilêr, skilderijen, muzykynstruminten, porslein en tal fan oare keunstwurken dokumentearje de lange skiednis fan it hûs.

Titanias Paleis[bewurkje seksje boarne bewurkje]

It bekendste útstallingsobjekt is it tige grutte poppehûs 'Titanias Paleis', dat ferneamd waard nei de elfenkeningin Titania. De Ingelske ofsier Sir Neville Wilkinson boude mear as 15 jier oan it keunstwurk. It keamergrutte paleis bestiet út mear as 3.000 keunstobjekten, dy't tige krekt yn details makke. Under de miniatuerromten fan it paleis is bygelyks ek in kapel mei in te bespyljen oargel.

Oare musea[bewurkje seksje boarne bewurkje]

Yn de oare gebouwen binne ferskate oare musea ûnderbrocht. Dêrûnder in museum foar oldtimers oant de jierren 1970, fleantugen en motors, in museum oer it de skiednis fan it rêdingswêzen fan Denemark en in útstalling fan poppehûzen. Oare útstallings geane oer de skiednis fan de lânbou, de hannel en de ambachten.

Tún[bewurkje seksje boarne bewurkje]

De om de fivers hinne oanleine tunen ûnstiene fasearre en wurde ek hjoeddedei noch jimmeroan fergrutte en foar de toeristen oanpast. In offisjele tagong foar it slot oer waard yn de jierren 1950 rekonstruearre.

Yn it noardeastlike, net foar it publyk tagongklike, diel is in histoarysk doalhôf fan hagebeuken, dy't yn it plan foar in grut part liket op it ferneamde doalhôf by Hampton Court Palace. It doalhôf is yn 1733 oanlein. Súdeastlik fan de slotfiver leit in doalhôf fan de multykeunster Piet Hein, in neikommeling fan de Nederlânske seeheld Piet Hein. Mear labyrinten om it slot hinne binne yn de moderne tiid oanplante.

De tún waard yn de kategory 'Fiedere ûntjouwing histoaryske túnkompleksen' yn 2012 mei de Jeropeeske Túnpriis ûnderskieden fan it European Garden Heritage Network.

Egeskov Castle (Danish: Egeskov Slot) is located near Kværndrup, in the south of the island of Funen, Denmark. The castle is Europe's best preserved Renaissancewater castle.

History[edit]

Egeskov was first mentioned in 1405.^[1] The castle structure was erected by Frands Brockenhuus in 1554.^[2][3]

Due to the troubles caused by the civil war known as the Count's Feud (Danish: Grevens fejde), general civil unrest, and a civil war introducing the Protestant Reformation, most Danish noblemen built their homes as fortifications. The castle is constructed on oakenpiles and located in a small lake with a maximum depth of 5 metres (16 ft). Originally, the only access was by means of a drawbridge. According to legend, it took an entire forest of oak trees to build the foundation, hence the name Egeskov (oak forest).

The estate has belonged to the Bille-Brahe family since 1784, when they acquired it from descendants of the Brockenhuus family. In 1882 it was inherited by the counts Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille who are still presently owning it.

Castle architecture[edit]

Outside, the castle is a Late Gothic building. Inside the original elements already show Renaissance design.

The castle consists of two long buildings connected by a thick double wall, allowing defenders to abandon one house and continue fighting from the other.^[4] The double wall is over one meter thick and contains secret staircases and a well. Defenders were able to attack an enemy's flanks from the two round corner towers. Other medieval defences include artillery ports, scalding holes and arrow slits. The bricks composing the castle are of an oversized medieval type sometimes called 'monks bricks'. The conical towers are constructed in a series of separate panels.

The architecture includes depressed and round-arched windows, round-arched blank arcading within the gables, and a double string course between the high cellar and the ground floor. The structure contains some of the early indoor plumbing design first used in Europe with vertical shafts for waste.^[5] The thick double wall also contains a water well which is accessed from the servants kitchen in the east house. Several of the large rooms have massive parallel exposed beams with some end carving.^[6]

Castle contents[edit]

Contents of the castle include a massive iron chest from at least as early as the 16th century, which derived from Hvedholm Castle, a property earlier owned by the Egeskov estate about twenty kilometers to the west.

Numerous oil paintings are found within the castle including a large painting in the great hall on the first floor of Niels Juel, who defeated the Swedish force in the Battle of Køge Bay in the year 1677.

Gardens and lands[edit]

Other buildings belonging to Egeskov include Ladegården, a thatchedhalf-timbered building which is now part of the museum. Other buildings are used by the museum and for farming. Surrounding the castle is an old park, covering 20 hectares (49 acres) of land. The park is divided into a number of gardens. The renaissance garden features fountains, a gravel path and topiary figures. The fuchsia garden, one of the largest in Europe, contains 104 different species. Other gardens near the castle include an English garden, a water garden, an herb garden, a vegetable garden, and a peasant's garden (bondehave). The gardens also feature four hedge mazes. The oldest is a beech maze several hundreds of years old. This garden is trimmed every year to prevent the trees from dying. The newest maze is the world's largest bamboo maze. It features a Chinese tower in the centre, and a bridge from the tower provides the exit from the maze. The parks feature a three-meter-tall sundial designed by Danish poet and mathematician, Piet Hein.^[7]

The estate includes an additional eight square kilometres; 2.5 square kilometres (0.97 sq mi) is forest, with the rest being farmland. In 1986, a full-sized replica of the castle was built in Hokkaidō, Japan, to hold an aquarium. This was constructed with the permission of the Egeskov's owners at the time, Count Claus and Countess Louisa Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille.

Museums[edit]

Egeskov is home to the following museums.

• A vintage automobile collection
• A vintage motorcycle collection
• A collection describing the history of agriculture
• A collection of flying vehicles
• A collection of Falck and other emergency vehicles

Most of the castle is open to the public, except for the areas used by CountMichael and Countess Caroline Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille. The museum of agriculture and the horse wagon collection is located in the building Ladegård mentioned previously.

Three large modern buildings are occupied by the vintage automobile collection, the vintage motorcycle collection, the Falck collection, and by a collection of airplanes and helicopters. The Falck collection is a collection of vehicles from the Danish rescue company, Falck, emergency vehicles such as fire trucks, ambulances, rescue boats, and other assorted emergency vehicles.
