The impressive main building consists of four ? two storey interconnected wings surrounded by a moat. The castle is surrounded by an extensive, undulating park, which falls gently away to the south towards Holsteinborg Cove. Because of its outstanding beautiful setting the castle is one of the best known in Denmark.

HOLSTEINBORG CASTLE AND H. C. ANDERSEN
Hans Christian Andersen visited Holsteinborg Castle for the first time in may 1856 following innumerable invitations from Count Ludvig Holstein and Countess Joachimine (Mimi) Holstein. Until his death (1875), he returned to the castle almost every year ? 35 times in all. Here he truly felt at home. On a photography taken on the veranda in 1870 he wrote: ?At Holsteinborg my sun-picture was created. For here sunshine in my heart was laid.?
