Kongenshus Mindepark, a tract of 1.200 hectares of heath located in the south of Viborg, Jutland (Denmark), witness to a long history of ideas and deeds, the inspiration for some astonishingly inventive landscape art.
A significant – and singular – set of events led during the first half of the 20th century to the protection of certain locations, including Kongenshus, which survived the agrarian transformation and land reclamation affecting much of the western part of the peninsula, following the Danish defeat in 1864 and the ensuing loss of Schleswig. This transformation came to be regarded as a true patriotic act.
