Kragerup Gods in West Zealand is a four-star hotel and conference estate with ten meeting rooms for 6 to 255 people, 57 bedrooms and a program of weddings and company parties. The estate dates back to 1327 and is run today by the ninth generation of the Dinesen family. Conferences and parties take place in the main building, in a manager's residence across the moat and in converted farm buildings.
Seminars and company events
The largest room, Kviestalden, covers 365 m² and holds up to 255 people in a cinema set-up. It was fully renovated, has glass sections in each gable and state-of-the-art AV equipment, and is step-free. The Carriage gate, a former farm building of 303 m², holds up to 150 in a cinema set-up and is also step-free. Both are presented for large conferences, general meetings, exhibitions and company parties.
Smaller rooms sit in the main building. The Grain Warehouse (135 m²) holds 80 in a cinema set-up. The Dining Room (64 m²) takes 20 at a long table, the Salon (52 m²) 14 and the Men's room (49 m²) 18. The Wing (28 m²) takes 7. Across the moat, the manager's residence has a 56 m² room for 30 in a cinema set-up with its own access to the terrace, and the Studio (67 m²) takes 10 at a long table. Every room has modern AV equipment.
The estate also offers outdoor meeting spaces. The Forest cabin (160 m², available May to October) holds 120 in a cinema set-up and has a wood-burning stove. The Shelter Village has six shelters, a fire pit and a covered long table for 24, with power, wifi and flipcharts, and walk and talk trails start nearby. The estate sells tailor-made company days, team days and an activity park with a high ropes course, a trampoline park, football golf and canoeing.
Weddings and receptions
Kragerup holds weddings with an outdoor ceremony in the park and photographs on the white footbridge. In summer the reception can take place on the terrace. Five rooms are listed for the wedding dinner: the Dining Room (30 guests), the Grain Warehouse (48), the Forest cabin (72), the Carriage gate (80) and Kviestalden (120). Two party formats are offered, one of seven hours and one of eight hours, each with a seasonal dinner and drinks. Couples can offer guests an overnight stay, and the couple receives a deluxe room for the wedding night with breakfast.
Accommodation
The hotel has 57 individually decorated rooms. Nine deluxe rooms sit in the main building and are named after people in the estate's history, including the room of Karen Blixen, who was born a Dinesen. Superior and standard rooms are in the restored farm buildings, the dairy and the steward's residence. A family room consists of two en suite bedrooms. Guests can use a foot bath, a salt scrub and a sauna.
Catering
Restaurant Blixen serves Danish cuisine with French influences in the central wing of the main building. It favors seasonal ingredients, local producers and the estate's own garden, which supplies herbs, edible flowers, fruit and berries. In summer, guests can dine on the terrace overlooking the park. A forest cabin evening can be built around a grilled buffet.
History and setting
The estate was a working farm for generations, with cattle, dairy and horticulture. In 1998 the eighth generation, Birgitte Dinesen, began turning it into a hotel and conference venue. Regitze Sophie Dinesen, the ninth generation, now owns it. The estate holds Green Key and Green Attraction certifications and has six wind turbines. Historical tours can be booked.
