Valdemar's Castle
Valdemars Slot
A 17th-century baroque manor castle by the sea on Tåsinge, with luxurious rooms, a yacht museum, and beaches and jetties for walks.
Valdemar’s Castle was built between 1639 and 1644 by King Christian IV for his son Valdemar. It was later given to the naval hero Niels Juel and remains owned by his descendants. Inside the castle are ornate baroque and rococo rooms, silverware and hunting collections. The grounds include a yacht museum, a toy museum, a restaurant and a small seaside jetty. In summer you can take the steamship Helene from Svendborg, a crossing of about one hour. Admission is about 150 Danish kroner.
