Brede House

Brede House, a late 18th-century country house located in Kongens Lyngby, Denmark, offers a glimpse into the life of the upper class during the 1790s. Originally built for Peter van Hemert, owner of the nearby Brede Works, the house is now a historic house museum managed by the National Museum of Denmark. Visitors can explore its Neoclassical architecture and period furnishings, restored to reflect the original design based on detailed inventory lists from the 1805 auction. The picturesque gardens, designed in the English romantic style, feature a variety of fruit trees and a vegetable garden that continues to produce fresh crops. A unique Chinese-style pavilion adds to the charm of the grounds, making Brede House a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
