Even a queen goes on vacation sometimes. Queen Margrethe II. of Denmark traditionally likes to spend her summer at Gråsten Castle. In contrast to her Copenhagen city residence Amalienborg Palace, the small town on Nybøl Nor is much more tranquil. You can tell whether the queen dwells here by the royal flag that is hoisted during her visits. The castle itself is not open to the public. When the royal family occupies the castle, the otherwise open castle church – Denmark's only original Baroque church – and the castle garden entailing the royal kitchen garden are also closed to visitors.
But you can watch the daily changing of the Lifeguard during this time. Every Friday the ritual is accompanied by the music corps.
