Created By: Freeborn County Historical Museum
John Christiansen lived in Denmark until he was nine years old. He remembered the Danish Castles from his childhood and wanted to create them here at his home in the United States. Notice the “1925” above the front door of the castle. 1925 is the year Irg the Garden Gnome was born (Gnomes live for hundreds of years). It is also the year Christiansen built the Danish Castle.
