Across the Damsgårdssundet (Damsgård Sound) is what may be the finest wooden Rococo mansion in the world.
Damsgård Manor was raised in the 1770s for the minister of war Joachim Christian Geelmuyden Gyldenkrantz at a time when aristocratic country retreats were cropping up on the outskirts of the city.
In summer the grounds are open to the public and include a Lord’s Garden and Lady’s Garden, both formal and enriched with statues, topiaries and geometric flowerbeds.
