context_page_description: Søllerød is a suburban district of Rudersdal Municipality in the northern outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. The original village, one of the oldest in the area, is perched on Søllerød Hill on the south side of Søllerød Lake. It merged with the neighbouring village of Øverød to the north and the modern district of Holte to the southwest in the middle of the 20th century and now forms part of the Greater Copenhagen area.
  Most of the local landmarks are concentrated in a well-preserved village environment centred on the old village pond and on Søllerødvej. They include the medieval Søllerød Church, with a scenic cemetery, the famous Søllerød Inn, now a one-star Michelin restaurant, the old country house Mothsgården, now a local history museum, and a number of other 18th and 19th-century landmarks.
context_section_description: Søllerød Church stands on the top of Søllerød Hill. The Medieval church was a small flat-roofed structure built in chalk ashlar from Stevns Klint. It was later expanded with a chancel to the east and a porch to the north. The tower was built in 1450. The church was expanded with two cross arms in the 18th century. The smaller one, attached to the porch, is known as Københavnerlogen, a name that dates from the time when the church was often frequented by  visitors from Copenhagen on Sundays.
  Søllerødf Rectory is located next to the church. The thatched, half-timbered complex consists of a main wing, barns and stables.
  Søllerød Sognegård was designed by Inger and Johannes Exner and completed in 1993.
  Søllerød Inn, one of the best restaurants in Denmark, was established in the 1980s. It has maintained a star in the Michelin Gude since 2001.
  Mothsgården was from the 1680s until 1711 owned by Mathias Moth, who was Minister of Interior Affairs and the brother of Christian V's official mistress. The building now houses a local history museum operated by Rudersdal Municipality.
  Another house with royal associations is Søllerødgaard, now known as Søllerød Slot. It was originally built by Frederik Danneskiold-Samsøe, a grandson of Christian V, between 1740 and 1743. Over the following decades, the property changed hands several times. Later residents included Frederick, Hereditary Prince of Denmark. The original house was replaced by a more modest one in 1784. The current house is from 1915. The property features a section of the original rough iron fence from the Odd Fellows Mansion in Bredgade, Copenhagen, which was dismantled when the house was expanded and converted into a concert venue in 1884.
  Carlsminde (Søllerødvej 30) is a Rococo-style mansion from 1751. It now houses the headquarters of the Venstre Party. The building was listed in 1918. Fogedgården (Søllerødvej 38) and Ilufshøj (Søllerødvej 40) are also listed.
