This house is a quaint place built on three sidesof a square and having long passages and low, old-fashioned rooms adorned with ancient furniture andbrass sconces on the walls. It is now owned by thetwo Misses Roulund, whose father bought the Gaardin 1847. Then the estate comprised some 1300 acres,but now it has been reduced to half that area.
