Passing by the park

The Deer Park - Dyrehaven - at Jærgersborg was established by King Frederik III in 1669 - who decided to fence in the woodlands of “Bøgeskov” (Beech wood) and to drive all the wild deer’s from the surroundings areas into the newly created park - which he named the Deer Park. The park was mainly used as the royal hunting fields - and was the King’s private deer park until he died in 1670.
