Den kunstige sø
Nord for parkeringspladsen er der er en række træer langs en sti. I fordybningen bag dem lå der fra midten af 1300-tallet og frem til omkring år 1800 en stor kunstig sø som Valdemar Atterdag havde fået opdæmmet. Søen var et reservoir der skulle forsyne borgens voldgrave og blev kaldt Badstuesøen. Man har fundet rester af et hus der angiveligt skulle være en badstue der blev oversvømmet da søen blev lavet. Et andet rygte siger at det var Kong Valdemars den Stores badstue der lå her, og i den blev hans frille Tove, stegt til døde af dronningen
The artificial lake
North of the parking lot is a row of trees and a walking path. In the recess behind the trees was a lake from the middle of the 1300 century and until 1800. It was the Danish King Valdemar Atterdag who had it dammed so it could work as a reservoir which should provide water to the castle’s moats. It was called the bathhouse lake and one tale say that it is because of a bathhouse which was floated when the lake was created. There has been found a house, but if it is the bathhouse isn’t clear. Another tale is that King Valdemar the Great had his bathhouse hear, and that his lover Tove was roasted to death by his queen.
