Eriksholm Castle

Denmark, Denmark

---

Eriksholm Castle is a historic manor house located near Holbæk on the shores of the Isefjord in eastern Denmark.

The estate dates back to around 1400, although the present Neoclassical castle was completed in 1788 and designed by the renowned Danish architect Caspar Frederik Harsdorff. Originally known as Vinderup, the estate was renamed Eriksholm in the early 17th century after its owner, Erik Madsen Vasspyd. Over the centuries, it was owned by several notable Danish noble families, including that of the famous naval commander Niels Juel. 

The castle is admired for its elegant white façade, three-winged layout, and refined Neoclassical design. Protected as a historic building since 1918, Eriksholm Castle remains one of Denmark’s notable manor estates and is valued for its architectural beauty, historic significance, and scenic setting.
