Augustenborg Castle is one of the most beautiful baroque castles in Denmark.

In the park you can see the remains of the same linden tree, which provided shade for HCAndersen when he visited the castle in his time. Maybe this is where he got inspired for the fairy tale about "The little girl with the matchsticks".

For more than 75 years, parts of the Castle have functioned as a psychiatric hospital, the psychiatry has subsequently been gathered in Aabenraa and the castle now houses the Danish Agency for Agriculture, which is why there is no public access.

The Mini Museum at the bell tower gives you an insight into the history of the Duke family.
