Last year we had the pleasure of the many Broholmer dogs that filled the courtyard and the area around Broholm Castle. Again this year, Broholmer society occupies Broholm Castle when they visit us from Friday 19th of August and all weekend.

So would you like to meet a real Broholmer dog, who got its name from Broholm Castle, then come on by or book a table in the Restaurant or a room at the Castle.

Broholm has given its name to a rare Danish breed. The Broholmer Dog is interesting, particularly because it is a very old breed whose recognition goes back to the late 1500s.

It was Chamberlain N.F.B. Sehested who from 1850 until his death bred - at the time of decay
this race - a big, strong and muscular dog. To promote the breeding of the dog he gave puppies to people within the country. However, there was the condition that one would love to follow up the breeding. In this way the dog was used widely and became a very common and
treasured dog. With the breed of the Broholmer Dog from N.F.B. Sehested, King Frederik VII and Countess Danner, found what they sought. Both the king and the countess were very happy with the Broholmer Dog and is pictured with their dogs on several occasions.
