Nivaagaard

Nivaagaard is a historic property in Nivå in the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark.

In 1870, eight years after Alfred Hage had acquired the estate, a circular fire house was constructed, based on plans by Friedrich Hoffmann.

It covered European Renaissance and Baroque painting and Danish Golden Age art.

A small museum building in temple style designed by Johan Schrøder was built near the main house in 1903.

[1] The European collection contains works by Giovanni Bellini, Claude Lorrain and Rembrandt.

Eckersberg, Christen Købke, Johan Lundbye, Wilhelm Marstrand, Martinus Rørbye and P. C. Skovgaard.
