Bagsværd Lake and Sophienholm.....

Only a few kilometers from my house is Bagsværd Sø
...a huge lake. I went there a few days ago....and now you
can go there too...if you want to :O)

Bagsværd Sø is the site of various international
rowing, sailing, kayaking and windsurfing competitions...

Next to the lake lies Sophienholm - Sophienholm was built
in 1769 as a country house - surrounded by the most
beautiful park. To visit the park is free...and people go there
to picnic, play etc. In 1963 the municipality of Lyngby-Taarbæk
purchased Sophienholm. It was restored, and opened in 1967
to the public with an exhibition of Danish Golden Age art. Art
is still a big part of Sophienholm. Such a wonderful
place; you should visit it, if you're in Copenhagen!

'The Norwegian House' - made in the 1800s

The surroundings of Sophienholm hold a number of artworks...

This dragon is so funny...step on a pedal and it moves...

Sophienholm has an exhibition hall, annually showing
4-5 major art exhibitions...I went to see the Danish artist
Niels Bjerre (1864 –1942)...sorry, it was not
allowed to take photos...

...and I moved on...
Some rather wealthy people live next to the lake...

...mmm, ice cream ;O)

Cute houses...
