Local tips

  • Plan at least an hour so you can browse slowly; there are multiple artisans under one roof and many small details that reward unhurried exploration.
  • If you knit or sew, bring a project idea or garment in mind—staff can help you match yarns, fabrics or accessories to what you are working on.
  • Look beyond the main rooms; smaller side spaces often hide paintings, baskets or wellness products that are easy to miss on a quick walk-through.
  • Combine your visit with a short detour along Mariager Fjord; the rural surroundings enhance the feeling of having discovered a creative hideaway.

A creative farmhouse by the fjord

Hvirvelkærgård sits just outside Hadsund along Kystvejen, in a traditional farmhouse transformed into a world of crafts, colours and textures. The setting is rural and relaxed: red brick and timber buildings, gravel courtyard, and the soft breeze from Mariager Fjord not far away. It feels like a small countryside cluster of shops, yet everything is gathered in one coherent space. Inside, the old agricultural structures have been adapted to cosy showrooms and work areas. Low ceilings, exposed beams and whitewashed walls make a warm backdrop for textiles, paintings and leather goods. Even before you start browsing, the mix of rustic architecture and curated displays gives a sense of entering a personal, lived-in creative space rather than a neutral retail floor.

Ten makers under one roof

The core idea of Hvirvelkærgård is simple: several independent craftspeople share a common address, each contributing their specialty. Around ten artisans present and sell their work here, from clothing designers and knitwear specialists to painters, jewellery makers and basket weavers. This gives the place a varied, almost market-like feel, but in a calm, structured form. Instead of separate boutiques, the items are interwoven: a rack of garments beside hand-woven bags, shelves of soaps close to framed canvases. You move through small zones that subtly highlight different makers, noticing how one person’s colour palette complements another’s materials. It is the sort of place where you quickly sense that most items exist in very small runs or as one-of-a-kind pieces.

From bespoke clothing to tactile textiles

One of the anchors of Hvirvelkærgård is its in-house clothing and tailoring. Unique women’s garments are designed and sewn on site, with patterns and fabrics chosen for character rather than mass appeal. Cuts are often practical yet elegant, made to sit comfortably in everyday Scandinavian life while still feeling special enough for occasions. Yarn and knitting accessories line another area, inviting anyone who works with needles or hooks to pause. Colours range from muted Nordic tones to bright accent shades, and you can pick up both basic supplies and more luxurious fibres. For many, this corner turns the visit into a source of inspiration: you do not just buy finished pieces, you also gather ideas for your own projects.

Leather, jewellery and little luxuries

Italian leather bags, wallets and belts add a more cosmopolitan touch to the rural setting, their smooth surfaces and precise stitching catching the light as you walk past. Handcrafted jewellery in metal, glass or natural materials is displayed in cabinets and on small stands, inviting close inspection of clasps, stones and finishes. Around them, shelves hold soaps, oils and wellness items that lean towards indulgence: scents of lavender, citrus or herbs, textured bars of soap and carefully labelled bottles. These smaller pieces make Hvirvelkærgård particularly good for gift hunting, whether you are shopping for a committed crafter, a design-minded friend or simply yourself.

Art on the walls and events on the calendar

Paintings and other visual art line many of the walls, turning corridors and corners into mini-galleries. Motifs can range from local landscapes to abstract compositions, often in dialogue with the surrounding objects. A landscape might hang above a stand of woven baskets; an expressive canvas may share space with a rack of tailored coats. Throughout the year, Hvirvelkærgård also hosts selected events, from themed shopping days to small gatherings. The same rooms that hold merchandise can easily shift into a backdrop for talks or community meetings. Combined with simple facilities for motorhome visitors outside, this makes the farmstead a gentle, low-key hub where commerce, creativity and rural life intersect in a distinctly North Jutland way.
