  • Wear comfortable shoes suitable for mixed surfaces in the garden, especially after rain when paths and lawn areas can be damp.

Getting There

  • Car from Rønne

    From central Rønne, driving inland to Kræmmerhuset typically takes around 15–20 minutes, depending on traffic and season. The route follows main island roads through gently rolling countryside. There is usually on-site or nearby parking at the property, but spaces can fill during peak summer days, so arriving earlier in the day helps. Fuel costs are standard Danish prices and there is no entrance toll for the area.

  • Local bus from Rønne area

    Regional buses connect Rønne with the island’s inland villages, and some services stop within walking distance of Kræmmerhuset. The journey generally takes about 20–30 minutes, plus a short walk along rural roads. Single adult tickets on Bornholm buses are typically in the range of 25–40 DKK depending on zones and current tariffs. Services run more frequently on weekdays and in summer, with reduced schedules in the evening and on some weekends.

  • Cycling from nearby villages

    Cycling is a popular way to reach inland attractions on Bornholm. From villages in the central part of the island, expect 20–45 minutes of cycling on a mix of smaller roads and designated cycle routes, with gentle hills but no extreme gradients. Surfaces are mostly paved, though short stretches may be on compacted gravel. There is no fee to access the area, but bring water and be prepared for changeable coastal-island weather, especially on windier days.

A historic schoolhouse turned creative hideaway

Kræmmerhuset Kunsthåndværk occupies an old folk high school from 1886, standing slightly apart from the main towns in the rolling heart of Bornholm. Thick walls, tall windows and a simple, sturdy silhouette reflect its educational past, but today the building serves as a warm, personal showcase for island craftsmanship. The rural address on Skarpeskadevej makes it feel like a small discovery in the countryside rather than a standard high-street shop. Inside, the rooms retain a homely, lived-in character. Wooden floors creak softly, daylight slants through deep window frames, and shelves are packed rather than perfectly staged. This is part of the charm: a place where the building’s history and the handmade objects it holds feel closely connected.

Bornholm craft on two characterful floors

The shop spreads over two floors filled with ceramics, pottery, textiles and practical design pieces, many created by local artisans. The owner, a ceramic artist and keen gardener, curates a mix that ranges from stoneware mugs and bowls to vases, candleholders and sculptural pieces. Patchwork, woven textiles, basketry and small food items such as oils or condiments often reflect Bornholm motifs and materials. Rather than focusing on mass-produced souvenirs, Kræmmerhuset leans towards unique or small-batch work with a strong sense of place. You move between tables piled with glazes in soft Nordic tones, racks of fabric and shelves of delicate decorations that frequently change with the seasons. It is easy to linger, picking up pieces and imagining them at home or as meaningful gifts.

The 7,000 m² visit garden around the house

Stepping outside, the experience shifts from interior coziness to open-air exploration. Around the old school spreads the Unique Blomsterhave, a roughly 7,000 m² visit garden with a patchwork of plantings, winding paths and small seating nooks. The garden feels personal rather than formal, shaped by a gardener’s enthusiasm for color, texture and surprise. Beds overflow with perennials, grasses and seasonal blooms, while shrubs and trees help create quieter corners. A pond or two, small structures and decorative details echo the craft sensibility of the shop, turning the grounds into an outdoor gallery where plants replace walls. Throughout the growing season the atmosphere evolves, making repeat visits feel different as flowers come and go.

Atmosphere, seasons and sensory details

The overall mood here is calm and slightly whimsical. In warmer months, bees and butterflies work through the borders and the air is scented with blossoms and damp soil from the pond edges. On bright days, sunlight picks out the glazes of ceramics displayed near windows and plays across the leaves in the garden, while on cooler days the interior feels especially snug and sheltering. Seasonality shapes the experience. Spring highlights fresh growth and delicate flowers; summer brings dense, colourful planting and longer time outdoors; early autumn adds richer tones and lower light, often paired with indoors browsing. Even when the garden is less lush, the building and craft displays still offer plenty to enjoy, especially for design-minded visitors.

A gentle stop on a wider Bornholm journey

Kræmmerhuset sits in the island’s interior, making it a natural pause on a drive or cycle between coastal sights. It works equally well as a short browse-and-stretch stop or as a longer, unhurried visit combining craft shopping with time on the garden benches. Couples, families and solo travellers can all find their own rhythm here, whether that means quietly exploring the paths or debating which ceramics to take home. Because it is both shop and garden, the place bridges practical and contemplative experiences: you can leave with a tangible piece of Bornholm while also having spent time in a carefully tended, very personal landscape. Together, the historic building, handmade objects and flourishing plantings make Kræmmerhuset feel like a small, self-contained world within rural Bornholm.
