Not to be confused with the 5 star Kokkedal slot Copenhagen It was a pleasant stay at an old castle with a lot of history. The building and surrounds are beautiful. Internally, the decor is quite dated and looking at one of the reviews dating back to 2015, I do not believe the decor has changed at all. From AU$142 per night on Tripadvisor: Kokkedal Slot, Brovst.

History[edit]

The estate was originally a tenant farm under Hirschholm Palace. In 1746, Queen Sophie Magdalene ceded it to Christian August von Berckentin, a German count in Danish service. He commissioned Johann Gottfried Rosenberg to build a summer retreat at the site, a one-storey house with a Mansard roof, which he referred to as Landhaus Cockedahl. Between 1751 and 1755, Rosenborg also constructed a new town mansion for Berckentin on Bredgade. The building is now known as the Odd Fellows Mansion.^[1]

The property changed hans numerous times before it was purchased by Frederik Horsens Block in 1864. He had recently returned from Hong Kong where he had led the company John Burd & Co and been Danish consul since 1855. He demolished the main building in 1865 and replaced it with a larger, two-story building which was completed in 1866 to design by Christian Vilhelm Nielsen. The new complex also comprised stables and other farm buildings.^[1]

In 1963, Hørsholm Municipality acquired the estate from Peter Møller Christensen, founder of Fahls Varehus in Copenhagen. In 1993, Hørsholm Municipality sold the property to a private investor on condition that it be converted into a hotel and restaurant. The plans were not realized and the house fell into despair. In 2003, a lawsuit returned the property to Hørsholm Municipality. Keops Development acquired the estate in 2005 but sold it again to the consturciton company Kjær & Lassen A/S. They completed a renovation of the building in 2010. It was purchased by Mikael Goldschmidt in February 2014.^[2]

Hotel[edit]

The hotel is owned by Mikael Goldschmidt Holding. It is a member of Small Luxury Hotels. It has 62 rooms and a restaurant. The hotel manager is Michael Telling.
