Klampenborg

Klampenborg is known for a cluster of building projects by the functionalist Danish architect Arne Jacobsen.

Also adjacent to Deer Park is Klampenborg Racecourse, which hosts a season of thoroughbred racing over a flat 12-furlong turf course.

The full-service racecourse features paddock, grandstand, turf club and parimutuel betting.

Besides park and amusements, Klampenborg consists of residences, mostly single-family houses and large villas, the most notable of which is Hvidøre, former home-in-exile of the Danish-born dowager empress of Russia, Maria Feodorovna.

Architecture, Deer Park, Bakken, thoroughbred racing, white-sand Bellevue Beach, with panoramic view of Øresund and Sweden beyond, and easy access make Klampenborg a popular day-trip destination for locals and visitors.
