About
Karlsladen is a historical barn and visitor centre for the Mols Bjerge National Park in Syddjurs Municipality, Denmark. It is located close to Kalø Castle Ruin and the town Rønde. The thatched and timber-framed building covers 1,000 square meters, and was originally constructed in 1727. It was extensively renovated in 2013 when it was converted into a visitor centre.
The barn was constructed in 1727 to store farm crops from the Kalø Estate. Until 1945, the Kalø Estate, was privately owned by the German Jenisch family from Holstein. After World War II, the Danish State confiscated the Kalø Estate, including Karlsladen, as part of war compensation. Today, the estate is owned by the Danish Nature Agency.
