Not everything in the castle dates back to King Christian IV’s legendary mother-in-law Ellen Marsvin: Certainly, the elegant serving platters, covered dishes and ornaments would not have been present at the romantic dinners between the king and his bride Kirsten Munk. But there is no doubt that all the items on offer at online auction 639 belonged to the Holck family, who have lived in the castle for 12 generations.

If you want to adorn your home with additions from a Renaissance castle, now’s your chance.

Happy hunting!

 

Auction: September 28th, 8 pm.

Preview: September 15th – 27th in our harbour department, Amerika Plads 11, Copenhagen.
