Turns out it is the king's "weekender" in Bergen. Apparently he only visits once or twice a year and the rest of the time the grounds are open to the public. This means you are free to stroll around the manicured garden, picnic on the lawn and peer in the windows!
It is set on the banks of a huge lake and at the end of the garden is a truly amazing water view. I love how the water mirrors the sky in this shot.
One of the best things though was that beside this amazingly fabulous and glamorous castle built for royalty is the totally tiny and terrribly hobbit like house for the groundsman. Too cute.
It is a really lovely place to walk and enjoy a thermas of tea so I can't wait until some of you come and visit and can share it with me!

If you keep this up there will be no point coming over as we will have seen it all. Just kidding! Keep them coming.
Love Garth

For those of us who may never get there it is a great way of getting an idea of what a beautiful place it must be.
