"At Liselund, nature and emotion are not separate realms — they are one and the same. The park remains our heart, and its legacy flows into every path we take, every decision we make, andeverything we create. The passion for nature and romance that gave birth to Liselund continues to guide us — in this landscape, in this estate, and in our lives"

- Baron N.H. Rosenkrantz

The Spirit of Liselund

Liselund Estate is a historic property located in the eastern part of Møn, where dramatic cliffs meet dense forest and the sea. At the heart of the estate lies the Romantic Garden—an extraordinary landscape created in the late 18th century as a tribute to love, nature, and beauty.

This garden marked the beginning of Liselund. Designed in the spirit of the Romantic era, it was carefully shaped to blend with the wild terrain, celebrating the emotional power of nature through winding paths, small lakes, and thoughtfully placed pavilions.

Over time, the estate grew around this garden, and today Liselund is more than its Romantic origins. It is a living estate—deeply rooted in the land and its history—where generations have cared for both the landscape and its stories.

Liselund continues to offer a unique experience that connects visitors with nature, heritage, and a sense of quiet wonder.

Romanticism Influence

The estate embodies the Romantic movement’s ideals—harmony between architecture, nature, and emotion. Liselund was built in the 1790s by Antoine de la Calmette, a French nobleman and governor of Møn, as a gift to his wife, Elisabeth (“Lise”) Iselin. The name “Liselund” means “Lise’s Grove” in Danish.

Liselund’s Cultural & Natural Significance

The estate is a living example of Romanticism, designed to evoke an emotional response in visitors. Every element, from the winding paths to the intimate manor house, emphasizes nostalgia and tranquility, creating a harmonious retreat from everyday life.

Nearby Møns Klint, Denmark’s dramatic chalk cliffs, adds to the estate’s appeal. Located just a short distance away, these stunning white cliffs offer breathtaking views and further enhance the sense of natural beauty that defines Liselund.

Liselund Estate is a true gem, offering a unique blend of natural beauty, cultural history, and architectural charm. Whether you're strolling through its romantic gardens, exploring the manor, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere, the estate offers an unforgettable experience.
