Vindeholme Castle
Early 20th‑century manor in Lolland’s linden woods, offering exclusive stays, celebrations and retreats a short stroll from the Baltic shoreline.
Tucked into the linden woods of southwest Lolland, Vindeholme Castle is an early 20th‑century manor turned exclusive hideaway near Nakskov. Built in 1910 as a noble retreat, the cream‑coloured castle overlooks open lawns that slope towards the Baltic Sea, just 600 m away. Today it hosts private stays, celebrations, and corporate gatherings in grand yet intimate surroundings, blending oak‑panelled salons, high‑ceilinged dining rooms and quiet bedrooms with sweeping views of forest, fields and coastline.

Local tips
- Book the entire castle well in advance, especially for weekends and weddings, as stays are typically offered as full‑property rentals rather than individual rooms.
- Plan at least one unstructured afternoon to explore the surrounding forest and Baltic dike on foot; pack sturdy shoes and windproof layers regardless of season.
- Coordinate menus with the in‑house kitchen ahead of time to highlight local Lolland ingredients and pairings, including regional produce and carefully selected wines.
- If you need step‑free or low‑stair access, check room allocation in advance, as historic buildings can have narrow staircases and limited lift options.
- Use the quieter early mornings or late evenings for photography when the light over the lawns and forest gives the castle its most atmospheric look.

Getting There
-
Car from Nakskov
From central Nakskov, reaching Vindeholme by car typically takes around 20–25 minutes, following country roads through farmland towards the southwest coast. The route is straightforward but mostly unlit after dark, so plan extra time in winter months. Parking is generally available on the castle grounds for guests as arranged with your booking, but there is no public charging infrastructure on site, so electric vehicles should arrive with a sufficient battery level.
-
Car from Rødby ferry
If you arrive in the region by ferry at Rødby, allow around 30–35 minutes by car to reach Vindeholme. The drive crosses Lolland’s flat countryside and uses main roads for most of the way before narrowing to smaller lanes near the coast. There are no tolls on this section, and fuel stations are located near Rødby and Nakskov rather than close to the castle, so it is wise to refuel before leaving the main towns.
-
Bus and taxi via Nakskov
Public transport brings you as far as Nakskov, which is linked by regional buses and trains to other towns on Lolland and Falster. From Nakskov, expect roughly 15–20 minutes by taxi to reach the castle, with fares commonly in the range of 150–250 DKK depending on time of day and company. Services may be less frequent in the evening and on weekends, so it is advisable to pre‑book your onward taxi when planning arrivals or departures.
-
Cycling from Nakskov area
For confident cyclists, the quiet rural roads around Nakskov make a scenic way to approach Vindeholme. The ride from the town area generally takes 40–60 minutes at a relaxed pace, mostly over flat terrain exposed to wind from the Baltic. Surfaces are paved but can be narrow, with limited lighting and passing traffic from local farms, so high‑visibility gear and lights are recommended outside daylight hours.

A noble retreat on the edge of the Baltic
Vindeholme Castle sits quietly in the Lindeskov woods on western Lolland, about 12 km south of Nakskov and a short stroll from the Baltic shore. Built in 1910 as a private manor for a member of the Reventlow family, it was conceived as a place to withdraw from city life into nature without giving up comfort or ceremony. The pale façade, tall windows and steep rooflines stand out against dark beech and linden trees, creating a classic countryside silhouette. Despite its relatively young age by Danish castle standards, Vindeholme carries the atmosphere of an old estate. A curving drive leads through woodland to a forecourt framed by the main building and outbuildings. Beyond, lawns and meadows open towards the sea dike, with glimpses of the Baltic glinting between rows of trees. It feels self‑contained yet connected to the wider landscape of South Lolland.Rooms with stories and long table dinners
Inside, Vindeholme is laid out for house parties and gatherings. A grand dining room with high ceilings and tall windows is designed for long table dinners, speeches and celebrations. Salons and sitting rooms mix period details—wood panelling, parquet floors, chandeliers—with more contemporary touches, so the overall impression is elegant rather than museum‑like. Upstairs, a warren of bedrooms and suites allows larger groups to stay under the same roof. Many rooms look either into the forest or over open fields towards the sea, and the shared lounges make it easy to drift from focused meetings in the daytime to fireside conversations in the evening. The house is typically rented as a whole, turning it into a temporary home rather than a conventional hotel.Between forest paths and Baltic shoreline
What makes Vindeholme distinctive is its immediate access to nature. The surrounding Vindeholme Forest stretches all the way to the Baltic dike, one of the few continuous woodland areas on this stretch of Lolland’s coast. Paths lead through stands of linden and beech, across clearings and out to the wind‑brushed grass along the shoreline. From the castle you can wander directly into the trees to listen to birdsong, watch the light shift through the canopy or simply enjoy the quiet. On clear days, the proximity of the sea is obvious in the salty air and the low, constant murmur of waves reaching the dike. The setting lends itself to reflective walks, outdoor workshops, or simply stepping outside with a coffee between sessions.Gatherings, celebrations and focused work
Today Vindeholme operates as an exclusive venue for private stays, celebrations and corporate events. Weekends can be devoted to family get‑togethers or weddings, with ceremonies on the lawn and receptions in the dining hall. During the week the castle often functions as a retreat for teams who want space for strategy sessions, workshops or discreet negotiations far from city distractions. A key feature of a stay here is the emphasis on food and drink. Menus are tailored by an in‑house chef using regional produce from Lolland‑Falster’s rich agricultural landscape, often paired with carefully chosen wines. Meals become anchor points in the day: a shared breakfast before activities, a lingering lunch overlooking the grounds, and a multi‑course dinner that rounds off the evening.Quiet luxury in the Lindeskov landscape
Although the castle offers grand surroundings, the overall feeling is one of understated luxury. There is space to spread out—indoors across salons and meeting rooms, outdoors across lawns, forest edges and paths towards the Baltic. The combination of seclusion, history and comfort makes it well suited to slow weekends, focused work retreats or multi‑generational holidays where everyone can find their own corner. In the wider region, other manor houses, small harbours and food producers underscore Lolland’s long agricultural and maritime heritage. Vindeholme acts as a calm base within this landscape: a place where you wake to views of trees and open fields, spend the day between talks or walks, and finish the night with the castle softly lit against the forest backdrop.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
