Estate Constantinsborg, Denmark
The house on this estate at the border of Århus on Jutland, Denmark has been waiting for its new owner and destination for decades. If you are standing right in front of it you can hardly believe that. Of course, the house did not improve by the many renovations and the garden had, due to lack of maintenance, grown into a wilderness.
Despite all this it is a splendid
ensemble, the main house that is situated 15 meters higher than the swampy brook
that flows into sea and its annexes. The house and the terraces are surrounded
by many old trees. The park is bordered by ancient linden. Although not many of
the drawings of the gardens remained, nevertheless from measuring the area as
well as from the few descriptions found, an original baroque structure was
recognised.
Slager Groenadvies BV is glad to be able to convince the owner to layout the new
park based on these baroque structures.
The shape of the garden invites for that purpose, as well as the spectacular
view from the house onto the much lower situated park. Because a baroque terrace
is very expensive in maintenance, provisionally we choose for a layout of the
main structures. These are formed by the steps and paths over the axles, the
lime-trees and hedges, and the enclosing channels with its bridges. This had
been realised in spring of 2003. On a later stage the garden will be improved
with a terrace and a pavilion at the end of axle overlooking the marshes.
