Skjoldenæsholm Castle Hotel

Sjælland, Ringsted · Denmark · Slottshotell · Scare 3/5

The Grey Lady—a former housekeeper—still watches over the castle 200 years after her death.

Skjoldenæsholm Castle dates from 1348, though only the Countess's Wing preserves its medieval origins in half-timber construction and stone foundation. The rest of the complex was rebuilt in several phases during the 18th and 19th centuries, and it is from that latter period that the house's most persistent inhabitant originates.

A former housekeeper haunts the castle as the Grey Lady. She is seen chiefly in the Countess's Wing, the oldest part, moving between the rooms with the same routines as in life. Staff describe her as a calm presence rather than a frightening figure—as if she hasn't even noticed she died 200 years ago and continues faithfully in her duties.
