The private mansion in the city

From the grass in the park, the castle-like and beautiful Skansepalæ in neo-baroque style can be seen. The building was originally built as a hotel in connection with the National Exhibition in 1909, but later became patrician apartments. To this day, the palace houses Aarhus citizens.

Old military defense violence

The name of the park originally refers to the fortification that the German general Wallenstein had built in 1626-27 during his looting in Jutland. When the park was laid out in 1901-02, the municipality used the excess land from the ramparts to build Sydhavnen.
