Kastellet (Roskilde)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kastellet (Danish: The Castle), a house in Roskilde, Denmark, is the former home of the Danish author and satirist Gustav Wied.
The house was built to Wied's own design in 1900 with the proceeds from Første Violin, a comedy published in 1898. After a visit, his friend and colleague Walter Christmas referred to the house as "Kastellet" due to its castle-like architecture, and Wied instantly adopted the name, always using it in reference to his home thereafter.
