Hollufgård

Hollufgård is a Renaissance manor house in Odense Municipality featuring a main residence surrounded by expansive grounds. The property includes gardens, artist studios, a bronze foundry, a working forge, and an outdoor sculpture park displaying contemporary works.

Hollufgård was founded in 1577 as a private estate owned by landowners in the region. Over centuries it changed hands and purposes, serving as a school at one point before evolving into the artist residency it is today.

The manor operates as an international artist residence where sculptors, blacksmiths, and craftspeople work in open studios and foundries. Visitors can watch creative work happening in real time across the property's various workshops and outdoor spaces.

The estate is open to visitors during daylight hours, and it is best explored on foot at a leisurely pace to see the gardens, park, and working studios. Comfortable footwear is recommended since there are walking paths throughout the grounds.

The property hosts one of Denmark's largest artist residency programs, attracting creative practitioners from around the globe. Visitors often encounter artists actively working, offering glimpses of creative processes in real time throughout the grounds.
