History of the house:
In 1885 Tzar Alexander III announced that he would buy a house in Fredensborg. His wife Maria Fjodorovnas (Dagmar to the Danes) parents King Christian the 9th & Queen Louise lived at the castle in Fredensborg. The russian imperial family would visit almost every summer and eventually they bought a house of their own. They rebuild the house for several years, turned it in to what you get today. They called it their "miniature Gatchina". In 1892, Alexander gave Dagmar a Farbegé-egg with a picture of their new home. 
Their son (the last tzar) Nikolai II carved his name in one of the windows in the house. The glass is still there.
Today it's called the Emperor's Villa. 
In 1894 Alexander died, leaving the house uninhabited until, their daughter Granddutchess Olga sold the house in 1928. 

Today:
We are the 3rd owner since and are in process of restoring it in every possible detail. Although it is NOT a building site. We live here and do very small projects at a time. 
The main entrance is actually through the palace garden. The closest neighbor is the Castle where HM the Queen lives from April through November every year. 
The Emperor's Villa has new heating, fireplace, new bathroom, new kitchen and various possibilities for children in the 1200 m2 private garden surrounding the house. 
Outdoor furniture in the garden incl. a trampoline for kids, a swing, playhouse with a secret entrance, a slide, and hot-tub for 8 people in a totally private area and a lot more. 
It has a master bedroom with a balcony and 2 other bedrooms. 3 living rooms and a basement with washer and dryer.
The Villa is in the very centre of Fredensborg and it's history. 10 restaurants within 2 minutes of walking. Supermarkets just as close.  At noon and again at 10 in the evening you can enjoy music from the soldiers guarding the Queen.
Two steps out the main door and you are in the palace garden.

Cozy family home close to sea near Copenhagen 

Our house is a living example of modern Danish architecture, straight lines, lots of light and very functional. It's situated in a charming community with lots of younger families with children - just about half an hour from Copenhagen by train or car.
We have 110 m2 distributed on two floors. Downstairs is an open space kitchen and living room with access to our private terrace where you can enjoy the sun most of the day. From the kitchen you access the green courtyard we share with eight other families. Upstairs we have two bedrooms, an office and an open room wich we refer to as "the yoga room". The bathroom with shower, washing machine and dryer is placed downstairs. We have furnished our home in typical light and Scandinavian style with room for kids. 
Just 50 metres from our door is a lake where you can swim and go fish or take the rowing boat; very popular amongst the kids in the summer. In the area you'll also find a trampoline and a soccer field where it's easy to meet the local children. 
We also share a vegetable garden with some of the other families; we grow potatoes and strawberries - and you a welcome to harvest what you can eat.
Our place is very children friendly, and if you like it's easy to meet new people here. 
If you come here at fall or winter time you can experience the good Danish "hygge" - the cosy atmosphere of these seasons. 
If you are more mature travellers you'll most likely enjoy the area as well for example you can play golf and enjoy the many cultural activities as well as the nature.
We have good experiences with including car in the exchange (we have a Ford Focus Station car).
