The deer park was established around 1580 by King [[Frederick II of Denmark|Frederik II]] to facilitate his interest in hunting. The park area was fenced and [[roe deer]], [[red deer]], [[wild boar]]s and [[rabbit]]s were released. [[Pheasants]], [[Gray Partridge|gray partridge]]  and [[turkey (bird)|turkey]]s were raised and pools and fishing ponds were dug.<ref>[http://www.skanderborgleksikon.dk/index.php/Skanderborg_Dyrehave Skanderborg Dyrehave] Skanderborg Leksikon {{in lang|da}}</ref>
