Discover more about Oreby Kro

Set where the Sakskøbing Fjord gently meets the sea, Oreby Kro offers far more than a meal—it grants a fleeting but immersive glimpse into Denmark’s heritage of noble estates and rural hospitality. Established near the baroque Orebygaard Manor, the inn’s roots stretch deep into Lolland’s history, originally serving those who worked the land and attended to the manor house. Today, Oreby Kro carefully preserves this legacy, welcoming travelers into dining rooms awash with the glow of candlelight, original timber beams, and views over parkland and waterways once traversed by estate barges. The kitchen prioritizes the seasonal bounty of Lolland-Falster: think locally foraged mushrooms, pan-fried fish from nearby lakes, and robust Nordic stews in winter. The wine list leans into Danish vineyards, complemented by a broad range of regional beers, giving guests the chance to sample flavors truly unique to the area. The Sunday lunch is a local ritual, drawing families and food lovers alike for long, leisurely meals that often extend well into the afternoon. Service strikes a seamless balance between professional and cheerfully informal, reflective of the Danish kro tradition. Surroundings add to the experience—beyond the old inn’s windows, the estate’s long avenues and newly restored parklands invite casual strolls, birdwatching, or simply pausing to enjoy rural quiet. Unlike many countryside inns, Oreby Kro elegantly blends its history with a forward-looking kitchen, so each meal becomes a regional event. Advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially on weekends or in high season. Guests who appreciate tradition, a connection to place, and truly local produce will find Oreby Kro one of Lolland’s essential rural attractions.
