Pitches in Denmark, part II

And the Saturday treat for non-cat interested readers - though how someone can actually lack being fascinated and allured by cats is completely beyond every comprehension, reason and sense of course... - will be the second and finishing part of this summer's little trip to Denmark.

It'll revolve mainly around castles and churches, since there are a whole lot of beautiful ones to be found in Denmark too. And I'll mostly let the pictures speak for themselves.

I have no idea what they call that particular architectural style Danish, and sometimes Scanian, churches are built in. It reminds me of the Cape Dutch style though, and I find it very appealing. Look at that gorgeous bright yellow church, lovely!

Gavnö castle and garden is situated near the town of Naestved on South Sealand. The area is vast and the garden is quite lovely with a plentiful of different flowers and shrubs, mainly roses and tulips. I did buy a huge bag with tulip bulbs at Gavnö, which are about to hit the ground any day now. Hopefully there'll be something new and exciting peeking up in my flowerbeds next spring.

The estate has some very friendly goats and kidlings, who are extremely interested in gobbling down clothes... And a butterfly house, which was nice, but in my opinion far from as nice as the one we have in Hagaparken in Stockholm...

Frederiksborgs castle, a magnificent renaissance castle in Hilleröd is nowadays a national history museum. But even if you aren't interested in visiting the museum the castle and its garden are so well worth a visit, absolutely splendid. The first time we visited it was very early in the morning, misty and almost desolate. Eerie and completely captivating. The latter any day, any time, all year around I'd imagine.
