Oremandsgaard Gods is an organic manor near Præstø on the Danish island of Zealand, about one hour from Copenhagen. Companies can take the whole main building for a meeting or a seminar. Couples can rent it together with a forest party hall for a wedding weekend. The hall also takes events of up to 90 guests on its own.
Seminars and company events
For work groups, the main building is exclusive. The estate lights the fireplaces, serves the meals and handles the practical side, so the group can concentrate on the agenda. Groups must have at least eight people. Four formats are offered: a half-day meeting of seven hours, a full day of thirteen hours, an overnight conference, and a day and a half with a night in between. Every format includes AV equipment and a flipchart. Times are agreed with each group, and a half day typically runs from 9 am to 4 pm.
Weddings and receptions
A wedding at Oremandsgaard is a private weekend. The couple has the main building and the party hall from Friday at 10 am to Sunday at 4 pm. No other guests share the estate, there is no fixed package, no sound limit and no closing time. Food, music, program and seating plan are chosen by the couple. From May 1 to September 30 the two houses are always rented together, and extra days can be added on a Thursday or a Monday.
Rooms and capacities
Husflidsskolen is a hall 11 meters long and 8.30 meters wide. The estate states up to 90 guests for events and meetings, and room for 100 at a wedding dinner. Tables and chairs for 90, tableware included, come with the hire. The kitchen has a 90 cm oven, two small refrigerators and an industrial dishwasher, and a cold cellar holds a freezer and drinks. The forest shed next door has café tables for 40 and suits a bar or outdoor serving. Power, heating and wifi are included, and the hall is cleaned after the event.
Accommodation
The main building has 13 double rooms and 25 beds in all. Conference groups can use single occupancy for up to 13 people, and extra rooms can be arranged within 350 meters. For weddings, some rooms take extra beds, and the basement can hold a basic dormitory with seven double air mattresses.
Catering
Meals are part of the meeting packages: breakfast, lunch and, in the longer formats, dinner, with coffee, tea and cake, plus fresh fruit in the full-day and overnight formats. Menu, allergies and special requests are agreed with the estate in advance. For weddings the couple decides the food, and a bar package of organic gin, black currant liqueur and tonic is offered for the party.
History and setting
Oremandsgaard has belonged to the Hage family for five generations and has worked organically since 1967. Today it is a working estate with a park and woodland. It also houses a distillery, artists' studios, two architecture offices, a farmers' market and a chamber music festival held in the last week of July.
Getting there
The main building is at Oremandsgaard Allé 1 in Præstø, and Husflidsskolen is at Kragevigvej 13. Oremandsgaard Allé 2 is the estate office and farm, so guests should not navigate to it. The estate describes itself as one hour from Copenhagen.
