Set behind a double moat, Broholm is one of Denmark's most historic castles and much of it remains packed museum-like with antiques, paintings and heirlooms. Indeed it has a 19th-century archaeological museum of its own as well as antique dolls, a well-stoked fireplace and classy restaurant, yet the atmosphere here is less stuffy than at many other upmarket castle hotels.
The 19 rooms are all different, but are photographed in detail on the website. Four in the oldest wing share two huge bathrooms. Most others are period-elegant en suites within the castle's late-18th-century west wing, while three significantly cheaper options (sharing two bathrooms) are in a beautifully appointed thatched watermill-cottage across the road (with communal kitchen and lounge, but guests can still use the castle lounges). If you want to dine more cheaply than at the in-house restaurant (starters/mains 165/265kr, breakfast 145kr), drive 5km east to Lundeborg, which has four harbour cafes.
