Denmark Søbygård, Aerø

Søbygård is Ærø's last ducal manor house. Here you will find experiences for all ages and lots of insight into the history of Ærø. There is a museum that showcases the life on the island in previous decades. They also offer lot´s of kids activities which is great if you visit with your family.

I used my drone to capture Søbygård from above, featuring the surrounding lake and fields. I came here for sunset to catch some golden light which sadly was blocked by some clouds. Going after the opening hours is a good idea if you are considering flying a drone.

You can park your car for free at the marked parking location. There is also a second, much larger parking lot for more vehicles since the museum is frequently visited during opening hours. Driving around Aerø is relatively easy and very relaxing. There is not a lot of traffic, excellent road conditions, and the island is pretty tiny, allowing you to travel from one side to the other in around 30 minutes. You can only come here by ferry.
