Architecture in Denmark The Astoft Collection of Buildings of Denmark The aim is to illustrate the architecture of the buildings using photographs supported by architectural descriptions. All photos are taken by the website owner, whilst the information provided by the annotations has been obtained from various sources in print and on the web. Two important sources are given at the bottom of this page.

H.C. Andersen Carl Nielsen King Canute

Literature:

A good deal of the information on Danish buildings has been has been obtained from Niels Peter Stilling's excellent books on churches and manor houses entitled "Politikens bog om Danmarks kirker" (2000) and "Politikens bog om Danmarks slotte og herregårde" (2002) (Danish texts only). They carry much more information on the history of the buildings than has been given here.

An important source of information on the palatial mansions of Copenhagen is "50 palæer og landsteder" by Sys Hartmann, 1990, Gyldendal. This has very extensive histories of each building and its owners.
