Frederiksdal House

Frederiksdal is a country house on the Furesø Lake north of Copenhagen, Denmark. The estate includes the earliest example of a maison de plaisance in Denmark, and covers 328 hectares of land of which circa 200 hectares are forest. The estate dates back to the Middle Ages, when it was an ecclesiastical property known as Hjortholm within the Ancient Diocese of Roskilde. After the reformation, it became a possession of the Danish crown and saw industrial use during the 17th century. Frederiksdal was acquired by the Schulin family in 1743 and has remained in the family since. It is currently owned by the eighth generation of the Schulin family.
