Villa Margerinely
Spir fra Otto Mønsteds margarinefabrik i København (nedrevet i 1981)
I den vestlige ende af slotshaven, midt i et af rosenbedene, står et spir med kobbertag.
Det er det sidste af fire spir, der stammer fra den nedrevne margarinefabrik i Vasbygade i Københavns Sydhavn (1981).
Det forlyder, at det er Prins Henrik, der i sin tid købte og indrettede det til et lille lysthus eller pavillon. H.M. Dronning Margrethe II kalder det Villa Margarinely.
I Cahors omtales lysthuset spøgefuldt Tour Saint Margarine efter fransk tradition for at navngive gamle borgers tårne.

At the western end of the palace garden, in the middle of a rose bed, stands a spire with a copper roof.
It is the last of four spires that originated from the demolished margarine factory in Vasbygade, in Copenhagen’s South Harbour (1981).
It is said that Prince Henrik purchased it and converted it into a small garden pavilion. HM Queen Margrethe II affectionately calls it Villa Margarinely.
In Cahors, the pavilion is jokingly referred to as Tour Saint Margarine, in line with the French tradition of naming old bourgeois towers.
