Hofmansgave

The main building of Hofmansgave displays simple Baroque architecture with a symmetrical design and half-timbered side wings from the late 18th century.

Originally established in 1483 on an island in Odense Fjord, the estate underwent multiple name changes before becoming Hofmansgave under Niels de Hofman in 1784.

The Hofman-Bang family, composed of scientists and botanists, maintained the estate for generations until 1972, developing extensive botanical collections in the surrounding park.

Visitors can access the manor park from sunrise to sunset throughout the year, featuring the Danish Potato Museum which opens from Easter to October.

The estate functions as an agricultural foundation, producing milk and cultivating specialized crops including wheat, corn, and spinach seeds.
