Originally built (1639–44) by King Christian IV (1588–1648), Valdemars Slot is the largest private home in Denmark, and the only royal palace in private hands. Its owner, Louise Iuel-BrockdorffAlbinus inherited the estate in 2017 and has since passionately pursued the restoration of her childhood home.
