Tranekær Castle

History

Tranekær Castle is lived in by the Ahlefeldt-Laurvig family and is the oldest lived-in building in Denmark. The Castle first came into the hands of the Ahlefeldt-Laurvig family in 1659 as part of the dowry when Margrethe Dorothea Rantzau, daughter of Christian Rantzau, married Frederik Ahlefeldt. In 1672 Frederik Ahlefeldt was elevated to Count. He united Tranekær and his other holdings into the County of Langeland.
