Gisselfeld is best described as "hyggeligt". The castle is beautiful, although, not as striking as the others I have seen around Denmark. It is not open for public. You'll only get to enter the old stables. But the place boasts a vast land estate offering a beautiful landscape featuring barren hills, wheat fields, lush forest and beautiful gardens. It is very nice to walk around. The Parade House is worth a visit with its selection of unique and rustic looking vases, ornamental plants, garden decors, etc.. Adjacent is a cafe where you can buy snacks and souvenirs. All in all, it's a OK place to take beautiful photos and do nature walk. But other than that, there's nothing else to do. We went there on a summer day and were surprised to see not so...

Smukt lille slot, fantastisk park. Gisselfeld, som ligger mellem Haslev og Rønnede, er et af Danmarks største godser med et areal på 4.000 hektar med Hesede, Edelesminde, Brødebæk og Gødstrupgård, hvoraf 2.400 hektar er skov. Det er beliggende i flere kommuner, men hovedgården ligger i Bråby Sogn i Faxe Kommune. Gisselfeld Kloster (formelt Gisselfeld Adelige Jomfrukloster i Sjælland) er en stiftelse på Sjælland.
Stiftelsen oprettedes ved testamentarisk bestemmelse af Christian V's illegitime søn med Sophie Amalie Moth, Christian Gyldenløve i 1701-1702. Bestemmelsen trådte i kraft ved hans enkes død i 1754.

De indskrevne klosterdamer – konventualinder på Gisselfeld – skulle være ugifte og af adelig stand og byrd, men de havde i modsætning til på Vallø og Vemmetofte ikke bolig på selve klostret. I stedet modtager de en årlig hævning.
Gisselfeld Kloster ledes af en overdirektør, der ifølge den oprindelige fundats udpeges iblandt mandlige, grevelige medlemmer af slægten Danneskiold-Samsøe. Kønsdiskrimineringen i fundatsen er dog kendt ugyldig jf. ligestillingsloven.
Gisselfelds overdirektør, siden 2010 Helene Danneskiold-Samsøe, har privatbolig i klosterets...

Unique monastery and beautiful surroundings! However, the entry ticket is unfortunately waaaaay to expensive.
The reason why we haven’t been there more than ones is solely because of the price. I know there are maintenance costs, but keeping the prices that high also lowers the amount of visitors and in the end the income...
