Gavnø Slot
📍 Gavnø 2, 4700 Næstved
Gavnø Castle is located on the island of Gavnø in Karrebæk Fjord south-west of Næstved and is considered one of Denmark's most beautiful Rococo castles. The site has a long history: the estate is first mentioned in the early 13th century, the main building was originally constructed in the early 15th century, and it acquired its current Rococo character during a renovation in the 1750s. The castle is owned by a foundation and is surrounded by a castle park of approximately 8 hectares. Gavnø is one of South Zealand's major visitor attractions and hosts a range of major events throughout the season, including Denmark's largest tulip festival, market days, vintage car shows and a Christmas market. The grounds also feature a café and a family-friendly climbing park.
