Brundlund Castle

The origins of Brundlund Castle date back to 1411, when Queen Margrethe I commissioned the construction of a moated castle in Aabenraa after the town came into her possession. For centuries, the complex served as an administrative seat for royal, ducal, and municipal administrations. In the 16th century, the fortress underwent a transformation into a Renaissance castle. In the early 19th century, between 1805 and 1807, the castle was partly redesigned in the Neoclassical style under C. F. Hansen. After the last resident moved out in 1996, the city of Aabenraa took over the property and established an art museum starting in 1998, which received its current appearance after extensive restoration from 1983 to 1985.

Brundlund Castle is located in the Danish city of Aabenraa in the Aabenraa district, in the Syddanmark region, Denmark. It is situated at an elevation of approximately 10 m above sea level.

Today, Brundlund Castle houses a publicly accessible art museum. It exhibits Danish painting and sculptures from the 19th century to the present, with a focus on artists from Southern Jutland. The former castle mill, which once served as a bridge tower, is used as a café on summer weekends. Sculptures by contemporary Danish sculptors can be seen in the castle park.
