Fuglsangshus

The small unimposing house is built with timber framing and has a half-hip tile roof with a wall dormer on each side.

When Sophie Magdalene of Brandenburg-Kulmbach became queen of Denmark in 1730, her husband, Christian VI, bestowed the extensive Hørsholm Estate to her in compliance with a tradition which had existed since the middle of the 17th century.

In the beginning of the 1760s, Queen Sophie Magdalene gave a small piece of land to her palace gardener Johan Tobias Pflügger where he could build a house for his own use.

The house was, however, as a result of economic constraints, ultimately built to a somewhat more modest design with only one dormer on each side.

It was carefully registered and dismantled and initially put on storage in Hørsholm Local History Museum and at Mortenstrupgård.
