From the 73-meter-high hill, you have a wonderful view of Lake Brassø and the forest area around Silkeborg. The hill has had its current name since 1852, when King Frederik VII and his wife Louise visited the city of Silkeborg and the hill with the wonderful view. The two of them seem to have liked it up here, after all, the hill has borne the countess's name ever since.

Silkeborg Chamber Lock

Highlight • Structure

Kammerslusen in Silkeborg is a lock that forms a passage where the Gudenå is dammed at the former Silkeborg paper mill.

The new lock was inaugurated on August 1, 1920. The lock is still in use today, but mainly by canoes and smaller motorboats.

Papirfabrikken Silkeborg

Highlight • Historical Site

The paper mill was the origin of Silkeborg, around which the city grew bit by bit. Today the site has been modernized, trying to preserve a bit of the style of the factory. You will find a number of restaurants, the music theater and a museum here.

Silkeborg’s oldest history relates to Silkeborg Slot, a castle which stood at Slotsholmen, north-east of Silkeborg’s modern-day town centre, where the River Gudenå runs into Lake Silkeborg Langsø The first Silkeborg Castle, a primitive wooden building surrounded by palisades, was built in 1385. It was later replaced by a stone building, and again in the early 16th century by a main building in stone, a courtyard and a stable yard.

Silkeborg Castle received royal visits on several occasions. Both Frederik II and Christian IV were regular overnight guests in the main building “Det Store Stenhus” (the great stone house), during hunting trips and the like in Central Jutland. The castle was badly damaged during the Swedish wars in the 17th century, when Silkeborg was occupied by Swedish troops, who ravaged the castle buildings, no fewer than three times. Having been in a state of disrepair for years, the last remains of the castle were demolished in 1726.

Today, the layout of both the main building and the courtyard is marked by embankments. There is access to the area via a bridge across the River Gudenå at Lake Silkeborg Langsø and from the Papirfabrikken area.

On the picture you see a model of what the castle in Silkeborg used to look like. It was recreated for a short period of time during the summer of 2017, but has now again been taken down.
