Norske Hus, Liselund Park
A storybook thatched cottage tucked into the romantic gardens of Liselund Park, where Nordic vernacular architecture meets a carefully composed coastal landscape.
Tucked into the storybook landscape of Liselund Park on the island of Møn, Norske Hus is a steep‑thatched, timbered cottage that feels lifted from a romantic painting. Built in the early 19th century as part of the park’s picturesque ensemble, the house reflects Danish romanticism with its sharply pitched roof, white‑framed windows and intimate scale. Surrounded by rolling lawns, old trees and glimpses of the Baltic, it offers a quiet, atmospheric stop while exploring Liselund’s gardens and nearby Møns Klint.

Local tips
- Combine Norske Hus with a full circuit of Liselund Park so you can see the cottage in context with the manor house, lakes and viewpoints toward Møns Klint.
- Visit in early morning or late afternoon for softer light on the thatched roof and fewer people on the paths, ideal for photography.
- Wear comfortable shoes suitable for park paths that can be uneven or damp after rain, especially if you plan to continue toward the cliff area.
- Bring water and snacks if you want to linger; amenities are found elsewhere on Møn rather than directly at the cottage.

Getting There
-
Bus and walk from Stege or Vordingborg
From Stege or Vordingborg, use regional buses toward Borre on Møn; services typically run at least once per hour in daytime. From Borre, expect a 30–40 minute walk on country roads and park paths to Liselund Park and Norske Hus. Standard bus fares on this route are usually in the range of 24–36 DKK each way, depending on distance. The walk is gently undulating but includes unpaved sections that can be muddy after rain, so it is less suitable for wheelchairs and strollers.
-
Taxi from Stege or Borre
Local taxis from Stege or Borre offer a quick way to reach Liselund Park, with journeys typically taking 10–20 minutes depending on starting point and traffic. For the short distance, fares are generally around 120–180 DKK per car one way, varying by company and time of day. Taxis can usually drop you near a park entrance, from where a short walk along park paths leads to Norske Hus; surfaces here are mostly gravel or grass and may be uneven in wet weather.
-
Cycling on Møn
Møn is well suited to cycling, and many visitors reach Liselund Park by bike from Stege or other parts of the island in around 30–60 minutes, depending on starting point. Roads in the area are mostly low‑traffic country routes with occasional hills and exposed stretches where wind can be strong. There is no dedicated cycle parking directly at Norske Hus, but you can leave a locked bike at park edges or near main paths. Rental bikes are available in several locations on Møn at typical daily rates starting around 100–150 DKK.

A romantic cottage in a landscaped dream
Norske Hus sits like a fairytale illustration in the heart of Liselund Park, a landscaped garden created as an idyllic summer retreat on Møn. The cottage forms part of a carefully composed scenery of lawns, winding paths and small architectural follies, all designed to evoke a cultivated version of nature. Approaching through the trees, the steep thatched roof and dark timber walls appear almost suddenly, framed by greenery and soft light from the nearby coast. The house takes its name from its rustic, Nordic character, which was highly fashionable when Liselund was laid out. Rather than a grand manor, it was conceived as an intimate retreat within the larger estate, somewhere to pause, take in the surroundings and enjoy the romance of the designed landscape.Thatched rooflines and Nordic detailing
Architecturally, Norske Hus is defined by its unusually steep thatched roof, a profile strongly associated with Danish rural building traditions. The roof sweeps down over compact façades, emphasising shelter and coziness, while deep eaves cast patterns of shadow across the walls. White‑painted window frames contrast with the darker timber, picking out vertical and horizontal lines and adding a sense of lightness. Details such as small panes, simple wooden ornamentation and the robust chimney highlight the era’s fascination with vernacular architecture. At the same time, the cottage is more refined than an ordinary farmhouse: proportions are carefully balanced, and its placement within the park is clearly choreographed to be viewed from paths and clearings rather than from a working yard.Part of Liselund’s romantic composition
Norske Hus is only one element in the broader story of Liselund, where architecture and landscape work together. The main Liselund manor, lakes, viewpoints and smaller garden structures were all arranged to create a sequence of unfolding scenes. The cottage contributes a more intimate, domestic note within this composition, contrasting with open lawns and dramatic glimpses toward the sea. Strolling around the building, you notice how vistas open and close: from one angle, the roof dominates like a sculptural form; from another, it is partially hidden by trees, with only a gable and a slice of thatch visible. This play between concealment and revelation reflects the landscape ideals of the time, encouraging leisurely wandering rather than straight routes.Atmosphere through the seasons
The experience of Norske Hus changes subtly with the seasons. In spring, young leaves frame the roofline in fresh green, and the thatch appears almost golden in low sunlight. Summer brings dense foliage and a lush garden feel, with birdsong carrying over the lawns and the cottage half‑screened by branches. In autumn, the dark timber contrasts strongly with copper and amber leaves underfoot, and mist from the nearby sea can lend the scene a quietly dramatic mood. Even on overcast or breezy days, the steep roof and solid walls give the house an air of security, a small, anchored presence in a shifting coastal landscape. The setting invites unhurried observation rather than rapid sightseeing.Visiting today: a quiet pause on Møn
Today, Norske Hus is appreciated less as an interior destination and more as an atmospheric highlight within a walk through Liselund Park. Paths lead around the cottage, allowing you to study the thatching, timber construction and overall form from close range. Benches and grassy areas nearby provide informal spots to sit and take in the surroundings. Combined with the cliffs of Møns Klint and the wider island landscape, a visit here offers insight into how past landowners shaped nature into a romantic backdrop for leisure. For travelers interested in garden history, architecture or simply tranquil corners with character, Norske Hus is a rewarding stop woven into one of Denmark’s most evocative designed parks.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
