Favrholm, Historic conference center in Hillerød, Denmark
Favrholm is a historic manor house in Hillerød featuring a whitewashed brick structure with a thatched roof, extended by modern steel-and-concrete wings with extensive glass panels. The facility includes conference rooms, dining areas, hotel accommodations, and fitness facilities.
The property dates back to 1364 when Danish king Valdemar Atterdag received it as a pledge, and later served as a royal stud farm until 1899. After that period, it evolved into a modern conference center.
The meeting rooms feature design elements shaped like cow ears, honoring the agricultural past and the site's connection to insulin production. These details link the place's farming history with its current role in the pharmaceutical industry.
The site sits in a calm, green setting with lakes offering opportunities to observe wildlife during breaks. The blend of historic building and modern facilities creates a pleasant environment for extended stays.
The modern extensions were built underground to preserve the visual connection with the original farm structure. The adjoining lake is home to roughly 160 bird species, making it a valuable habitat.
