Gravenstein Castle in Denmark is best known as the summer residence of the royal family. The castle was originally built in the middle of the 16th century as a hunting lodge. Around 1700, the Grand Chancellor Frederik Ahlefeldt had a huge baroque castle built, but it burnt down in 1757. Only the castle church was preserved. The current castle building was constructed in two stages: the south wing in 1759 and the main building in 1842. The castle church, where the SHMF concert also takes place, impresses with paintings and a magnificent stucco ceiling. In 2018, Queen Margrethe II gifted the castle church with a new antependium - a masterful, colourful altar ceiling that took more than 250 hours to create.
