CharcoalBurner89 visited on 23rd Sep 2022 - their rating: Cond: 5 Amb: 5 Access: 5 Wonderful museum that houses Denmark's most famous bog body: Tollund Man. Absolute visit recommendation! There is also a small prehistoric exhibition that has nothing to do with the bog body.
The Rittmeister Hans Nicolai Hoff built Silkeborg Hovedgård between 1767 and 1770 after he had acquired Silkeborg Castle, whose buildings had fallen into despair. In 1846 the premises were briefly used as a chapel (for workers at the nearby paper mill). It was even used as a post office afterwards. The museum was founded in 1904. After falling back into private hands, the museum became state owned again in 1939.
