WHAT YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT PALSGAARD
Denmark was once ruled from Palsgaard
Palsgaard has had many owners throughout the estate's long history, but the most prominent was the politician Peder Reedtz. He served under three Danish kings – Christian IV, Frederick III, and Christian V – and was chancellor during the realm under the last two. As Chancellor, he was effectively the head of government in Denmark. Although Peder Reedtz did not reside permanently at Palsgaard, it is a fascinating thought that Denmark was, in a sense, governed from Palsgaard between 1665 and 1674.
