Tourist Information Kragerup Gods

Manor house, activity park and gourmet experiences near Ruds Vedby

Between Sorø and Kalundborg, surrounded by forest and sweeping fields, lies Kragerup Gods. The manor house has roots dating back to 1327, and today it operates as a modern 4-star hotel with conference facilities, a restaurant and one of Zealand's most versatile activity parks. The estate is owned and run by the 9th generation of the Dinesen family, and that commitment to history is felt everywhere — from the authentically decorated function rooms to the well-kept park that stretches down to the moat.

Activity park with room for adventure

Kragerup Activity Park is what brings most families here for the first time. The park is home to Denmark's first climbing park Go High, where routes through the treetops reach heights of 28 metres and end with one of the country's longest ziplines. For the less daring — or the younger legs — Go Bounce offers trampolines among the trees, while Go Play is a playground built to challenge body and senses. Beyond that, you can try your hand at football golf on an 18-hole course in scenic surroundings, paddle a canoe on the moat, ride mountain bikes along forest trails, or take the family on the treasure hunt Eddie's Family Hunt. It is the kind of place where you easily spend a whole day without doing it all.

Restaurant Blixen and gastronomic stays

In the central wing of the main building sits Restaurant Blixen, where the kitchen works with Danish ingredients in a French-inspired tradition. The menu follows the seasons, and many of the ingredients come from local producers and the estate's own garden with herbs, edible flowers and berries. In summer, you can dine on the terrace overlooking the park and forest. The estate also offers gourmet stays, where a multi-course dinner with an accompanying wine menu is a central part of the experience — a combination of culinary indulgence and historic atmosphere that is hard to find elsewhere in West Zealand.

Accommodation and celebrations in historic surroundings

Kragerup Gods has 57 hotel rooms, from cosy standard rooms to larger suites with views over the estate's grounds. The venue is a popular choice for weddings, confirmations, milestone birthdays and company parties, and the function rooms range from intimate spaces to larger halls. For businesses, the estate offers conference packages with meeting rooms, team-building activities and accommodation — all with the special atmosphere that only a 14th-century manor house can deliver.

Sustainability as a core value

Kragerup Gods is CO2-neutral and holds both Green Key and Green Attraction certification. The estate operates six wind turbines and works purposefully on sustainable operations, from energy supply to the kitchen's focus on local and seasonal ingredients. For guests who value sustainability, it is an extra reason to choose this particular place.

Experiences near Kragerup Gods

The estate is centrally located in West Zealand with a short distance to many of the region's best experiences.
