Behind the white façade, a fairytale awaits

The manor house looks modest from the outside, but inside a surprising world of colours, intricate details and stories unfolds. Each room reflects the tastes of Antoine and Lisa de la Calmette and the spirit of the times in 1790s Europe. From the panoramic décor of the garden room to the pink master bedroom, the home tells a whimsical story of life between the Enlightenment and Romanticism.

The Monkey Room in Liselund Manor House, known for its painted palm trees and the story of the family's pet monkey, with antique furniture and a mirror.

A little taste of the stories from the house

In the monkey room, you’ll find pink walls adorned with delicate grey and blue motifs, and a feature wall featuring forest scenes and carved palm trees. In the centre of the room hangs a mirror featuring a small monkey – a memento from the family’s time in Lisbon, where the behaviour of a nervous monkey warned them of the devastating earthquake of 1755. An enchanting testament to how the Calmette couple wove personal memories into the home’s interior design.
