Skipperhuset

[1] The assignment was personally handled by the shipyard's director Admiral Ole Judichær who designed the flat-bottomed boat in the style of a diminutive naval ship.

The royal laundry had previously been done in Copenhagen but the water in Lake Esrum had a very low content of iron and therefore resulted in less discolouring of white clothes and linen.

The gate facing the water is six metres wide and was tall enough for the royal yacht to enter the building without lowering its two masts.

A m identical gate in the opposite gable was built upon specific orders from Frederick IV since he enjoyed the view through the building when arriving at the site.

[3] The site also includes a tall narrow building, colloquially known as Det Skæve Tårn ("The Leaning Tower"), which is the former residence for the navigator of the royal yacht.
