Voergaard Castle
Voergaard Slot
A moated Renaissance red-brick castle housing paintings by Goya and Rubens, along with furniture from the French royal court, collected by its last owner.
Voergaard Castle is one of the most beautiful Renaissance castles in North Jutland. Its main wing was built between 1586 and 1591, and its red-brick walls, towers and reflections in the moat make it very photogenic. The castle houses art collected in Europe by its last owner, including works by Goya, Rubens and artists of the School of Raphael, as well as porcelain and furniture from the French royal court. The interior is open only in summer (tickets about DKK 120), while the gardens and the grounds around the moat can be walked at any time. It is about 45 kilometers northeast of Aalborg and requires a car.
Opening hours
Approx. Apr–Oct 10:30–17:00 (see official website)
