Bernstorff Castle is one of the earliest neoclassical buildings - not just in Denmark, but in all of Europe. It was originally built as a summer residence for Count Bernstorff. It only became a castle when the then Crown Prince Christian VIII bought it.

The royal family used the castle as a "summer residence" until 1939, when the Danish Emergency Management Agency took over the buildings for their officer training. Thus, the castle was a "closed" training center until 2009.

It was then transformed into a hotel and conference center, which today also hosts many open and public events.
