In the 18th century, Tranekær Castle was the center of a now-disappeared formal facility in the French style. This while the park in the east and south, as we know it today, was shaped in English garden style in the year 1856-57 according to a plan by landscape gardener HA Flindt, who also created the Botanical Gardens in Copenhagen. But the park largely owes its distinctive character to an array of exotic trees that were planted in the 1860s.
Here are groups of trees, winding paths and views of the cultivated land and the sea. In addition, there are many exotic trees, a veritable aboret, with references to the vegetation of the East: pagoda tree, water fir, hen's bone tree, several types of magnolia and maple, as well as elm and rowan, yellow birch, winged walnut, fringed oak and more. The area also includes the old gallows hill. The grass is allowed to grow, old honeysuckle supports the aging oaks, and sheep and fallow deer have taken care of pruning the trees. Along the meandering lakeshore, reeds and alder thickets are an eldorado for birds.
