Geocache Description:


Glorup slot er stort set som da det blev udformet i 1765. I 1860erne blev avlsgården flyttet væk fra hovedbygningen, så denne kom til at ligge frit. Et nygotisk kapel blev bygget nordøst for hovedbygningen i 1898, det rummer et gravkapel og et katolsk kirkerum.
Da avlsgården blev flyttet i 1860'erne blev der plads til et større haveanlæg, det blev anlagt mellem 1862 og 1875. På øen i fontænedammen blev der lavet et springvand, vandet sprang ud af løvers munde.
Et lille rundtempel blev opført i 1868 med 6 doriske søjler. Inde i templet står et værk af billedhuggeren Johannes Wiedewelt. Det har oprindelig stået i Moltkes palæ i Amalienborgsanlægget, dernæst på øen. Værket forestiller Andromeda, en græsk sagnprinsesse, der skulle ofres til et havuhyre, men som blev befriet og gift med en søn af himmelguden Zeus. Ikke så langt fra templet var der et romantisk hængebroanlæg over en dyb kløft, broen var 42 m lang, bygget i 1867. I dag er kun tårnene tilbage.

Glorup Castle is in almost all respects as it was in 1765. The home farm was moved away from the main building in the 1860th . A late gothic chapel was build to the north of the manor in 1898, with a catholic interior and a sepulchral chapel.
When the homefarm was moved in the 1860th there was room for greater gardens. They were layed out between 1862 and 1875. On the island in the little lake a fountain was built with the water gushing out from the mouths of lions.
A little temple was build in 1868 with 6 Dorian pillars. In the temple stands an Italian sculpture It was originally placed in Moltkes town house in Amalienborg in Copenhagen , next on the island in the lake at Glorup. It pictures Andromeda, a Greek princess, that was being sacrificed to a sea-monster, but who was saved by and married to a son of the god Zeus. Not far from the temple the was a romantic suspension-bridge over a ravine, build in 1867. The bridge was 138 feet long. Today only the towers are left.
