Brede House

The house is now furnished with period furniture based on the detailed inventory lists which were prepared for each room in connection with the 1805 auction.

The only furnishings which have been preserved from Hemert's home are Lille's mirrors in the garden room and banquet hall, but several other pieces of furniture which used to belong to people from the social circle he moved in Johan Joachim Pingel is also represented with a piece of furniture.

It was laid out in the English romantic style in connection with the construction of the house, although accounts from Brede mention gardens at the site as far back as 1783.

The pavilion in Chinese style which is today seen in the garden is not native to the site but was gifted to the National Museum in 1971.

It is likely that it was designed by Kirkerup since he was the architect behind several other pavilions in Chinese style from the time, including the one in Frederiksberg Gardens.
