Boller Slot, Horsens
Facts and practical information
For alternative uses, see Boller.Boller Castle is an old seat farm, mentioned in 1350, when Otte Limbek writes to Boller. The farm was completely divested in 1937 and is located in Uth Sogn, Bjerre Herred, Horsens Municipality.
The present buildings are protected and were built by Holger Ottesen Rosenkrantz and his wife Karen Gyldenstierne in the years 1537-1588. The site has always been owned by powerful and wealthy families, which is why major renovations have regularly taken place to ensure that the buildings have been able to satisfy the changing demands of the times in terms of both fashion and comfort. In 1759-69, the largest rebuilding took place, including the removal of the castle's three towers.
The main building was sold to De Danske Sygekasser and converted into a convalescent home in 1931-1932. For many years the castle served as a nursing home, but it closed in 2012. In 2015, Peter Vognsen Nørgaard acquired the castle, and through a restoration converted the site into apartments and liberal professions.
The large park is open to the public during the summer. It is looked after by a garden association and contains many kinds of plants. The park contains several large and rare trees - including the common tulip tree, the common plane tree and the Kalopanax, as well as one of Denmark's oldest standing oaks, the Margretheegen.
