Hollufgård Slotspark

About

Hollufgård Slotspark is a serene blend of history, art, and nature on the southeastern edge of Odense. Centered around the old manor house, the park stretches across a landscape shaped over centuries, where remnants of its Renaissance garden and later romantic redesign still appear in the winding paths, linden avenues, and the historic Snail Mound. Today, the estate serves as a cultural hub, home to artist residencies and an outdoor sculpture park that adds a contemporary layer to the historic surroundings. Visitors can wander through forests, open meadows, and quiet garden spaces, discovering artworks integrated into the natural setting. Open year‑round, Hollufgård Slotspark offers a peaceful escape for walkers, art lovers, and anyone seeking a reflective break in a setting where heritage and creativity meet.
