17 kmGram Castle lies low in the landscape, surrounded by Gram Castle Lake and close to Gram Å. It is not only the main building that makes an impression: the farm buildings, manor stable, park, lake and associated buildings together form a manor complex that marks the entrance to Gram.
The castle park south of the castle mound is open to the public, so a visit can easily be about a peaceful walk among water, avenues and old park traces, even without going behind the castle walls.
The main building has three wings and is built of red brick with red half-hipped roofs, white cornices and eight brick chimney stacks. Each of the three wings tells part of the building's history: the east wing has Late Gothic features from shortly before 1500, while the south and west wings point towards the Baroque manor architecture of later centuries.
This gives the castle a special rhythm: unified when viewed from a distance, but more complex the longer one looks at the brickwork, wings and courtyard.
Today, Gram Castle also functions as a visitor attraction with guided tours, events, a restaurant, farm shop and accommodation in buildings around the castle. The kitchen follows a farm-to-table philosophy and uses ingredients from its own fields or local producers whenever possible. The castle itself is also a private home, so access to the interior depends on the activities and events open to guests.
