Pichardts B&B - stay in authentic Tranekær on Langeland
Stay at Pichardts Bed and Breakfast in the heart of the historic charm of the castle town, close to both the castle and the beautiful countryside.
Castle town Tranekær is unique in Denmark since Count Frederik Ahlefeldt-Laurvig (1760-1832) wanted a city reminiscent of a German principality. He built several buildings and brought foreign craftsmen and officials to the city.
In ancient legends, Tranekær can be traced back to the Næsse King of northern Langeland, King Tran, who is believed to have given his name to the town. Another charming suggestion for the origin of the name is the many pairs of cranes that breed in the area.
Count Frederik Ahlefeldt-Laurvig (1760-1832), also known as The General, wanted a unique town around Tranekær Castle. His interest in art and culture greatly developed the town, and he brought several foreign labourers and artists to the town, whose descendants can still be found on Langeland.
Tranekær Castle is the oldest inhabited house in Denmark, and with its location and beautiful red colour, the castle stands out in the beautiful landscape.
