Dallund, Manor house in Søndersø, Denmark
Dallund is a manor house on the island of Funen with sections built across different periods. The eastern and northern wings date from the 1500s, while a striking staircase tower was added during a major expansion and remains a defining feature of the building's layout.
The manor was first documented in 1340 and remained under the Bryske family for centuries. It later passed to other owners, including the Blixen-Finecke family, who held it for an extended period into the 20th century.
The architect Niels Sigfred Nebelong designed two east-facing lateral wings in 1849, adding to the manor's architectural development through different periods.
The property sits on Funen island northwest of Odense and is easy to reach by car. Today it operates as a hotel, allowing visitors to stay overnight in a historic building or explore it during a day visit.
The property was transformed in 2016 from a rehabilitation center into an eco-conscious hotel. This shift demonstrates how historic buildings adapt to modern needs while maintaining their original character.
