Default Danish philatelic translation needed

The following text (stamped in blue) appears on a parcel card from
Germany to Denmark from 1927.

Pakken oplagt paa
Graasten Toldkammer

On-line translators come up with garbage. If any Danish speakers could
help, I would be grateful.

Many thanks: John

John,
The sentence means : "The packet is deposited at Graasten Customs Office".

Graasten is located in the southern part of Jutland, very close to the
German border.

Hope this helps :-)

Of a set of four stamps of royal palaces (Amalienborg, residential palace in
Copenhagen), Fredensborg (residence for the crownprincely couple),
Marselisborg in Jutland (outside Aarhus), and Graasten (the latter two only
for holiday use) - all issued 17th march 1994 -- was also issued in 2006 a
coin of 20 dkr, showing only the tower of the castle, but it is duly
inscribed "Graasten Slot". The one pictured in Scott is Marselisborg,
located in a big forest.
