    The first Christmas Tree in Denmark

    As far as we know, the first Christmas tree in Denmark was lit at Holsteinborg Gods in South Zealand in 1808. The Christmas tree tradition is adopted from Germany, and therefore families familiar with the German tradition were among the first people to adopt the tradition.
