Discover more about Hollufgård slotspark

Set just beyond the bustle of Odense's center, Hollufgård Slotspark is a quietly enchanting blend of history, art, and nature. The park unfolds across the landscaped grounds of Hollufgård Manor, a former estate whose roots reach centuries into Denmark’s rural aristocratic past. Here, lush lawns shade under centuries-old trees, and tranquil streams curve around the stately manor that still stands as a centerpiece, evoking visions of old-world Danish countryside life. The park is most celebrated for its outstanding open-air sculpture collection. Across sweeping grasslands, woodland trails, and lakeside paths, you’ll encounter over 50 modern sculptures by Danish and international artists. Each is thoughtfully placed to interact with the natural surroundings, inviting moments of surprise and reflection. This blend of landscape and contemporary creativity means no two visits are ever quite the same—autumn leaves, spring flowers, and shifting light all transform the park’s mood. For families, wide picnic-friendly meadows and playgrounds make it a favorite for weekend outings, while dog-walkers, joggers, and cyclists appreciate the peaceful trails that weave beneath oaks and maples. There’s a sense of discovery here: historic farm buildings now house the Hollufgård Art Center, which regularly hosts artist residencies and exhibitions, injecting new creative energy into the old estate. Whether you’re picnicking under a willow, seeking a quiet afternoon in nature, or drawn by outdoor art, Hollufgård Slotspark offers an idyllic escape within easy reach of urban Odense. Its combination of living landscape, cultural curiosity, and gentle history marks it as one of the city’s hidden green treasures.
