This garden is also the recipient of the European Heritage Award in 2013 and is known for its pristine and colourful look. You can simply walk around and check out the different types of sculptures. 

Visit the Chancellery House

Visit the Chancellery House

The Chancellery House is located on the south side of the riding grind which is newly built. This building was originally built in 1731 during the time of Christian VI for the ministers of the royal family. The locals believe that it got its name Chancellery House because the Chancellery, which is the governing body of Denmark, stayed in this place. Once you enter this building, you will be greeted with a tall structure with a domed ceiling. This is the original structure, apart from a few minor modifications, but it is definitely worth looking at.
