A sensory journey
Like entering another world – a botanical sanctuary that pampers the senses. The Parade House is a truly unique oasis that takes you on a journey among exotic plants, to the sound of running water and soothing music.
The story of the Parade House begins at the 1851 Great Exhibition in London, where the impressive glasshouse “Crystal Palace” sent a wave of inspiration through Europe.
Christian Conrad Sophus, Count Danneskiold-Samsøe, took over as Supreme Manager of Gisselfeld in 1869. His wife was from England, and his heart beat for flowers and plants. In 1876, inspired by the English landscape style, he built the beautiful and unique orangery – The Parade House – based on designs by architect Herholdt.
Today, The Parade House is leased by garden designer Stig Lauritsen – known from the garden programme “Have haves” on TV2, among others – and landscape architect Greg Kobett. They run the place as a space for sensory experiences with an emphasis on historical and exotic plants. The Parade House also includes a small shop selling flowers and arts and crafts for connoisseurs.
