Brattingsborg Manor
Brattingsborg Gods
An aristocratic manor surrounded by forest at the island's southern tip. Its 19th-century castle-style main building and forest trails make it Samsø's most important historic estate.
Brattingsborg Manor is located in southern Samsø. It began as the medieval Hessenes Castle and has been held by Danish noble families since the 17th century. It remains a private estate today. The surviving main building, with its towers, was built in the late 19th century and is surrounded by large deciduous forests and farmland, a rarity on the island. The main building is not open to the public, but the forest paths and roads around the estate are free for walking and cycling, and concerts and other events are occasionally held in summer. It can be combined with Vesborg Fyr in the south to form a cycling route of about 10 km.
