Click here to listen to our audioguide, providing a guided tour of Valdemars Slot with some of the key voices bringing the estate alive this year.

Louise Iuel-Brockdorff Albinus – known as Duddi – takes us on a tour of the palace and grounds where she grew up, and where she lives today with her husband, two children, and two little dogs. Charlotte Christensen a specialist in eighteenth-century portraiture, captures the significance of paintings by Carl Gustaf Pilo and Jens Juel, depicting two generations of VS’s residents. Curator and writer Ulla Kjær and her husband, curator Poul Grinder-Hansen, discuss the palace’s architecture, highlighting the unique private chapel.

Alongside the three historians, our artists discuss how their work responds to this unique location, including Chinese artist Rong Bao, Czech-German painter Jiří Georg Dokoupil, Norwegian sound artist Hanne Lippard, and Pernille With Madsen, who was born locally on Funen.
