It was rebuilt in 2021 by Kengo Kuma, largely underground and wrapped around the house he was born in, and it treats him as the strange and difficult figure he was rather than a children's author. Book ahead in summer.\r\nWhat is Egeskov? | A Renaissance castle built on oak piles in the middle of a lake, with gardens, a treetop walkway and a vintage car collection in the outbuildings. About 45 minutes away and roughly \u20ac30 in summer, less out of season when parts close.\r\nIs it cheaper than Copenhagen? | Noticeably. Dorms \u20ac22 to \u20ac38 against \u20ac30 to \u20ac55, mains \u20ac18 to \u20ac28, and a day around \u20ac50 to \u20ac85.\r\nHow long do you need? | A day and a night.
