The Krapperup estate in northwest Skåne rents out Kockenhus, a manor at the foot of the Kullaberg nature reserve, for company conferences, weddings and parties. It takes up to 50 people for a day conference and 12 people overnight. Krapperup lies on the Swedish west coast, about 30 kilometers north of Helsingborg and just south of Mölle, and is run by the Gyllenstierna Krapperup Foundation.
Seminars and company events
Kockenhus can be rented by companies and private hosts since September 1, 2024. The manor is used for smaller company conferences and meetings, either for one day or for a day with one overnight stay. Day conferences are set for up to 50 people. The house has conference rooms, including one on the lower floor and one in the wine cellar, and a billiard table in the cellar for the breaks.
Only the whole manor is rented, never single rooms. That means a group has the building to itself, which suits a leadership meeting, a board retreat or a workshop where privacy matters. Stays can be one night, one week or two weeks.
Weddings and receptions
The owners state that Kockenhus can be rented for weddings and parties. A large living room with an open fireplace and further rooms for gathering make up the main social areas, and the kitchen is large, modern and fully equipped. The site does not give a seated guest count for a wedding, so organizers should confirm the layout with the estate.
Rooms and capacities
The manor has a total area of about 700 square meters, of which about 600 square meters is living space. It has six bedrooms with twelve single beds in total and five bathrooms. There is a laundry room and Wi-Fi. The entrance level and the basement level are adapted for people with reduced mobility.
A second building on the estate, the Brygghus (brewhouse), is a large room for up to 50 people with a large kitchen, furnished and equipped with tableware, and it has been offered for meetings and celebrations. It is closed for renovation and is expected to reopen in early 2027.
Accommodation
Kockenhus sleeps 12 in six bedrooms. Guests who stay a night after a conference are therefore on site, while a day group of 50 would travel in and out.
Catering
The manor has a large, modern and fully equipped kitchen. The site does not describe an in-house restaurant service for Kockenhus, so catering is a point to settle with the estate.
History and setting
Kockenhus served as a lodging for hunting seasons on Kullaberg, and locals call it the area's hunting lodge. It was damaged by a fire and was rebuilt after careful renovation. It looks over the Öresund. The Krapperup estate itself has a castle built in the middle of the 1500s on the remains of a medieval fortress, a park open to the public all year, a museum, an art hall of 400 square meters, a music hall and a cafe on the stable yard. Since 1967 the estate has been run by a foundation that supports science and research.
Getting there
Krapperup is about 30 kilometers north of Helsingborg, close to Mölle and the Kullaberg nature reserve. The Kullahalvön peninsula offers golf and other attractions for groups that add a free afternoon.
