Lungholm

Set in the flat, fertile landscapes of Lolland near Rødby, Lungholm is a historic manor house and working estate centred on a graceful neoclassical main building flanked by older wings. Dating back to at least the 15th century and reshaped in 1756 and 1856, the protected complex now hosts events, holidays and atmospheric stays, with surrounding fields, woods and dykes opening towards the Baltic-influenced coastline and nearby nature reserves.

Local tips

Book well in advance if you plan to stay overnight or host an event at Lungholm, as availability is limited and often tied to specific parts of the estate.
Combine your visit with time at the nearby coastal dykes and nature areas south of Rødby to experience both the cultivated estate and wilder birdlife habitats.
Pack layers and a windproof jacket; the open, flat Lolland landscape around Lungholm can feel breezy even on mild days.
Bring a bicycle if possible—quiet country roads and farm lanes around Lungholm are ideal for short rides between the manor and the surrounding countryside.
If you are interested in architecture or history, read up on Danish manor estates before visiting; it adds context to Lungholm’s neoclassical design and long ownership history.

Getting There

Car from Rødby town and ferry terminal

Driving from central Rødby or the nearby ferry terminal typically takes around 10–15 minutes, following regional country roads through open farmland. Expect simple two-lane roads with low to moderate traffic. Parking is generally available on the estate grounds but may be restricted or directed to specific areas during large events. There are no road tolls, and fuel costs are the only driving expense.
Taxi from Rødby or Rødbyhavn

Local taxis from Rødby or Rødbyhavn provide a convenient option if you arrive by bus or ferry and do not have a car. The ride usually takes 10–15 minutes depending on traffic and weather. Typical fares range from about 120–220 DKK each way, varying with time of day and company. Booking ahead is advisable in the evening or outside peak travel periods.
Bicycle from Rødby area

Cycling from Rødby to Lungholm is feasible for most reasonably fit riders, with travel times generally between 20 and 35 minutes across gently rolling, mostly flat terrain. You ride on small country roads where motor traffic is present but usually light. Wind can significantly affect the effort, especially on exposed stretches, so plan extra time in breezy conditions and consider visibility and daylight if returning later.
Regional bus plus short taxi connection

Regional buses connect Rødby with other parts of Lolland and Zealand. Travel times to Rødby vary, typically ranging from 30 minutes for nearby towns to around 2 hours from larger urban centres. From Rødby, continue by local taxi for about 10–15 minutes to reach the estate. Bus tickets often cost from roughly 30–120 DKK depending on distance and discounts, while the final taxi segment adds an additional 120–220 DKK.

A Manor House on the Edge of the Baltic Landscape

Lungholm sits just south of Rødby on the island of Lolland, where low horizons, wide skies and fertile fields stretch almost uninterrupted to the sea. Approaching the estate, you pass through a patchwork of farmland and drainage canals that hints at centuries of land reclamation and agricultural wealth. The manor’s pale brick facades and red roofs rise gently from this level terrain, more refined than grandiose, with an understated elegance that suits the surrounding countryside. The estate has long been a self-contained world: manor house, farm buildings, tree-lined avenues and shelterbelts, all woven together by tracks and hedgerows. Today, parts of the property are still farmed, while other areas are being transformed in step with new conservation projects nearby, linking Lungholm to the larger story of Lolland’s changing rural landscape.

Centuries of Ownership and Architectural Change

Lungholm is documented as a manor from at least the 1400s, passing through prominent Danish noble families before coming into the hands of the Lehn family in the late 18th century. Over time, the house has been altered and expanded in response to fashion, fortune and function. The current three-winged main complex was completed in the mid‑18th century and reworked in 1856 into the neoclassical composition visible today, with a central, two-storey main wing and lower side wings dating back to the 16th or early 17th century. The building’s status as a listed, protected property reflects both its architectural value and its role in the history of Lolland’s landed estates. Subtle later alterations in the early 20th century refined the interiors and rooflines without sacrificing the balanced, symmetrical expression that defines the courtyard.

Neoclassical Facades and Manor-Courtyard Atmosphere

Standing in the main courtyard, you are surrounded on three sides by harmonious facades of brick, regularly spaced windows and simple classical detailing. The central wing’s slightly taller volume and more formal entrance signal its role as the representative heart of the estate. To either side, the lower, older wings create a sense of enclosure that is both ceremonial and intimate, channelling views towards the landscape beyond the buildings. Behind the house, the composition softens into lawns, smaller garden spaces and clusters of mature trees. While Lungholm does not present itself as a showpiece baroque garden, there is a clear dialogue between house and grounds: sightlines that frame fields and windbreaks, paths that lead towards the wider estate, and occasional glimpses of agricultural buildings that confirm this is still a working rural property.

From Faded Grandeur to Restored Retreat

For a period in the late 20th century, parts of Lungholm’s building complex slid into disrepair, a fate shared by many Danish manor houses as agricultural structures and lifestyles changed. A comprehensive restoration has since stabilised the historic fabric and returned the main volumes to a coherent, well-kept state, preserving original materials where possible and recreating lost details where necessary. This renewal has allowed Lungholm to evolve into a combined experience venue and holiday destination. Today, the manor and its outbuildings host celebrations, gatherings and overnight stays, while several holiday homes are dotted around the property in particularly scenic spots. Thick walls, creaking floors and high ceilings are paired with modern comforts, letting guests inhabit historic rooms without sacrificing contemporary expectations.

Estate Life, Nature and Nearby Conservation Projects

Beyond the immediate house and courtyard, Lungholm is framed by the wider estate lands that once covered more than a thousand hectares. While much of the farmland is now managed by external farmers, the mosaic of fields, drainage ditches and small woodland pockets remains intact. In recent years, portions of the land have been sold to support an expansion of a neighbouring nature reserve, strengthening wildlife corridors and creating new opportunities for birdlife to thrive along the southern coast of Lolland. For visitors, this means that a stay or event at Lungholm can easily be combined with walks or drives to nearby coastal wetlands and dykes, where migratory birds and shifting light provide a striking contrast to the controlled geometry of the manor. Lungholm thus stands at a literal and symbolic meeting point between cultivated estate landscapes and emerging conservation areas.

Experiencing Lungholm Today

Visiting Lungholm is less about ticking off individual attractions and more about inhabiting a particular atmosphere. The long approach, the crunch of gravel in the courtyard, the play of weather over open fields and the quiet after dusk all contribute to a sense of rural seclusion. Indoors, you may encounter high-panelled rooms, antique details and generous window bays that frame the surrounding countryside like paintings. Whether you come for a special celebration, a manor-style holiday or simply to appreciate the building from the outside while exploring Lolland, Lungholm offers a layered experience: part architectural history, part living estate, part gateway to the island’s evolving natural landscapes.
