Erholm, Manor house in Funen, Denmark
Erholm is a manor house featuring neo-Gothic architectural details with a striking stair tower designed by architect Martin Borch. The building sits within manicured gardens that welcome visitors throughout the year during daylight hours.
The manor was built in 1854 by architect J. D. Herholdt on the site of an older timber-framed farmhouse that had been demolished. The construction marked the transformation of the property into a residence reflecting the architectural tastes of its era.
The Saturday food market held here brings together local producers from the region who sell coffee, whiskey, and fresh goods directly to visitors. This weekly gathering has become a place where the community shares its food traditions and craftsmanship with those passing through.
The manor is accessible by car and parking is available for visitors. The garden grounds are best explored during daylight hours, and Saturday visits offer the added bonus of experiencing the weekly market atmosphere.
When completed in 1854, this property was among the first buildings in Denmark to have central heating. This technology was remarkably advanced for a rural residence at that time.
