Egeskov Castle is a
Danish castle located on the island of
Funen. The castle is constructed on
oaken piles and located in a small lake of maximum depth five meters. Originally, the only access was by means of a
drawbridge. According to legend, it took an entire
forest of oak trees to build the foundation, hence the name
Egeskov (literally:
Oak forest).
