Dallund Slot is a castle in Søndersø, on the island of Funen in Denmark, that hosts residential meetings and day meetings for companies. Three meeting rooms take 8 to 30 people, and 24 bedrooms with private bathrooms sleep up to 44 guests. The site describes the stay as a place for confidential meetings, strategy work and team gatherings away from the office.
Seminars and company events
The castle is set up for boards, management teams and project groups. Two formats are offered. A meeting with an overnight stay covers one or more days with the castle to yourselves, and the hosts take care of the stay. A day meeting runs from 8:00 to 16:00 with catering included.
Every stay is tailored to the group. The site also lists suggested programs and optional activities, so a seminar can mix working sessions with time outdoors. Because the castle is used by one group at a time, discussions can stay private.
Rooms and capacities
There are three meeting rooms. Vestsalen holds up to 30 people, Østsalen up to 20 and Meeting Room 111 up to 8. Each room has a 65-inch Clever Touch screen with a digital whiteboard and Poly equipment for video conferences and hybrid meetings. Conference tables and chairs are provided, and a mobile sound box is available for music.
Beyond the meeting rooms, the castle has a library, a dining room and a wine cellar. Guests also use the café area for informal conversations.
Accommodation
There are 24 bedrooms: 20 doubles and 4 singles. All have a private bathroom and a view of the lake, the forest or the fields. With single occupancy the castle sleeps 24, and with every bed used it sleeps 44. Extra beds can be added to rooms.
Catering
A residential day starts with a light breakfast buffet before 10:00. Coffee, tea, fruit and water are available all day, followed by lunch, afternoon coffee or tea and home-baked cake. A castle dinner can be added, and breakfast is served the next morning. Food follows the seasons and is adapted to the group, from simple dishes to gourmet menus, prepared with local catering partners. A well-stocked wine cellar supports the dinner, and wine tastings can be arranged.
History and setting
The grounds include a rose park, an apple orchard, beehives, a lake for swimming, fishing and boating, a lakeside sauna and a 2.5 km forest path around the water. A fire pit under a pavilion, a covered sun terrace and a large lawn for ball games complete the outdoor offer. The site says the forest absorbs about half of the CO2 the castle emits.
Getting there
Dallund Slot is at Dallundvej 63, 5471 Søndersø. It is about 20 minutes by car from Odense, 1 hour 30 from Aarhus and 2 hours from Copenhagen.
