The Hunting Room
The Hunting Room
You have now entered the castle’s hall.As evidenced by the room’s furnishings, decor, and design, it was, from the mid 20th century, the study of Count Gregers Ahlefeldt Laurvig Bille. The count served as the chief hunting consultant, court master of the hunt, and chairman of the Hunting Council, and the room has remained virtually unchanged since his death in 1985. If you now look up, you will see that the walls are adorned with hunting weapons, trophies, and items from the castle’s extensive ethnographic collection. These objects were brought to Egeskov through the former count’s expeditions to, among others, Africa and Asia. Thus, the room is a tribute to the adventurous Gregers, and every item you see is imbued with stories that are sure to inspire both children and adults to venture out and experience the world.
