Christianssædeskoven
Christianssædeskov has a unique history, as it was transformed into a major forestry and research project during the Danish Enlightenment by the castle’s owner, Prime Minister C.D.F. Count Reventlow (1748-1827). At the beginning of the 19th century, the Danish forests were in a poor condition due to excessive exploitation, and with efficiency and long-term solutions in mind, C.D.F. initiated the Peace Forest Ordinance in 1805, which stabilizes and secures the forest’s growth and future yield through fencing and protection.
