The history of Lykkesholm Castle goes back more than 600 years. In the late Middle Ages the castle was owned by Kirstine of Magelund and it was then a strongly fortified castle protected by impressive ramparts. Later on the castle was moved to its present location and renamed Lykkesholm Castle. In 1391 Queen Margrethe I (1387-1398) owned the castle – but only for a brief period. Because of the nobility that was against the Queens reforms, the Queen feared for Lykkesholm Castle and passed it on to her loyal esquire, who moved it to its present location. The Queen died of plague on October 28th 1412. The world-famed storyteller H. C. Andersen often spent his summers at Lykkesholm Castle. His fairy-tales was often inspired by his stay at Lykkesholm Castle - which was a perfect getaway from the busy life in Copenhagen. H. C. Andersen is believed to have written several stories during his summer stays among others the well known "The little Mermaid".
