In April 1559, Jørgen Rosenkrantz acquired the Holm farm from the king near Hornslet. In the following years, he built a castle on this site and named it Rosenholm after his family. The Rosenkrantz family has owned the castle ever since, and today Rosenholm is the Danish house that has been in the same family for a long time. Between 1740 and 1745, the castle was restored and the large park of approx. 5 hectares was laid out with avenues of lime trees, arbors, and beech hedges. The rose garden around the fountain is a charming place. The castle is furnished with hundreds of pieces of furniture, paintings, and tapestries, offering visitors a fascinating glimpse into the life of a noble family over centuries. Today, Rosenholm Castle unites past and present culture by hosting exciting guided tours, conferences, company celebrations, weddings, etc. The castle is one of the largest and most beautiful Danish Renaissance manors. https://www.visitaarhus.de/region-aarhus/reiseplanung/rosenholm-slot-gdk1078933

The short half kilometer across the dam to the Kalø Castle ruins is also a journey into a past of over 700 years ago.

From this wonderful viewpoint, just north of Lystrup, you can see towards Aarhus and its coast. The landscape gets as hilly as Denmark gets.
