Villas in Gråsten

About Gråsten

Gråsten is a small town on an inlet of the Flensburg Fjord, beside the water of Nybøl Nor. It sits almost exactly in the middle of a triangle formed by Aabenraa, Flensburg and Sønderborg Castle, which puts it between three towns. The homes are grouped close together in and around the town rather than strung along a coast, and most are built for large parties, with a sauna and a fireplace. The palace is the royal family's summer residence, and its garden has lakes, lawns and woods. With a few thousand residents, evenings are likely to be spent at the house.

When to go to Gråsten

The palace garden is open to the public all year, but it closes while the royal family is in residence at their summer home, and those weeks fall in summer. The Royal Kitchen Garden stays open at those times. Check the closure dates before planning a visit around the garden.
