In addition to the scenic beauty and magnificent architecture they have to offer, they also stand as monuments to more than five centuries of Danish history. The landscapes and buildings of Denmark s manors offer an enchanting foray into a fascinating universe, animating the country s cultural heritage. Denmark s famous fairytale author Hans Christian Andersen and the internationally renowned storyteller Isak Dinesen were both fascinated by the unique atmosphere of the Danish country house, which as their fairytales and stories reveal was a lasting source of inspiration in their writings. Also today, the cultural and natural environment of the manor continues to appeal to the heart and soul, opening the eyes of the readers to the multifaceted splendours. This beautifully designed book provides the reader with the key to understanding and experiencing this cultural heritage. More than one hundred of Denmark s seven hundred manors are now partially or wholly open to the public. This book is your guide to them all. Two hundred beautiful photographs, many of them by the acclaimed photographer Roberto Fortuna, accompany the texts on the manors. The work is prefaced by H.R.H. the Prince Consort of Denmark and also includes a chapter on the Danish nobility by the Historian Ditlev Tamm. "
