Schloss Meilgaard is a historic manor house on the Djursland peninsula in eastern Jutland, Denmark. The striking white castle, which dates back to 1573 in its core, is located in a picturesque forest and nature landscape near Glesborg. The castle itself is privately owned and actively used for forestry and agriculture. Therefore, the interiors cannot be visited. However, the beautifully landscaped Meilgaard Slotspark is accessible to the public. You can take wonderful walks here and admire the estate from the outside. The historic restaurant Meilgaard Slotskro is located on the grounds, offering Danish cuisine in a stately ambiance.

I don't know for sure if it was at this spot. But I saw deer and roe deer up close several times on my tour along Cycle Route 5. The animals sometimes ran parallel to me across the fields and sometimes even jumped across the road right in front of me.

You are not allowed into the inner courtyard of the actual castle as it is privately owned. However, you can take a lovely stroll around the park and get great views of the castle and the moat from there!
