Countess Danner

Countess Danner’s social thoughts included caring for some of society’s weakest groups. In 1873 she bequeathed her fortune to two foundations. Jægerspris Castle with associated forests and agricultural areas was to ensure the financial basis for an orphanage for “helpless and abandoned girl children”.

Frederik VII and Countess Danners rebuilt the castle into a private and cozy sanctuary. The living rooms at Jægerspris Castle are decorated according to the taste of the time by the fashion- and style-conscious Countess Danner. Incidentally, the castle is the only place in Denmark where the interior design of the 1850s can be experienced as a whole. It was a colorful style with room for the sentimental and emotional, historical references and the modern products of industrialism.
