Sulkendrup Mølle is a restored watermill near Nyborg, on the island of Funen, that companies, associations and organisations can hire for meetings and courses. Two rooms seat up to 55 and 50 guests, the guests have the site to themselves, and a lake and a private forest surround the building. Overnight stays are possible in four holiday apartments and a separate house.
Seminars and company events
The mill building has been fully renovated and is hired out to companies, organisations and associations that want a meeting or a course in quiet, historic and natural surroundings. Guests have the place to themselves, which gives a group room to concentrate. The mill is also used for cultural events.
The loft room has a whiteboard, a projector, a flipchart and wireless internet. Outside, the grounds are free for guests to use for a walk, a row on the lake, group work, walk and talk sessions and team building. Garden furniture can be set out so that coffee and cake are served outdoors when the weather allows.
Weddings and receptions
The website presents the mill for meetings, courses and cultural events. It does not describe weddings or private parties, so couples and hosts of celebrations should ask the owners whether the format fits before planning around it.
Rooms and capacities
The mill building has two bright rooms with a view over the mill lake. Midtermøllen holds up to 55 people. It was renovated with respect for the old mill, with visible beams and old stable windows that look out over the lake. Mølleloftet holds up to 50 guests and has high ceilings and visible beams. The whole building can be hired from 7:00 to 22:00 or by the hour with a minimum of three hours. The loft can be hired alone, and so can the building without the loft.
Accommodation
There are four holiday apartments on the mill site, each with its own kitchen, bathroom and toilet. They come as one-room or two-room units, and bed linen, towels, coffee, tea and wifi are included. A separate house called Olesminde stands at the edge of the mill forest, a four-minute walk from the mill. It has four double rooms, each opening onto a terrace, two bathrooms, a large living room and a large kitchen. Two of the rooms also have a sofa bed. A simple tent site is available in the meadow. Breakfast with homebaked bread can be added for overnight guests, and parking is free, with a charging point for electric cars.
Catering
For a meeting, the owners can order and serve the food. Groups that prefer to cater themselves can use the serving kitchen and its crockery. Breakfast for overnight guests is made with organic and local ingredients.
History and setting
The mill has 600 years of history and is mentioned as early as 1425. It became the last commercially active watermill in Denmark. Five burial mounds lie in the mill forest, and the largest is a passage grave from the Neolithic period, about 5,200 years old. The lake is home to birds such as the kingfisher, and a fish ladder lets sea trout be seen jumping.
Getting there
Sulkendrupvej 1 is 8 minutes by car from Nyborg, 20 minutes from Odense and 5 minutes from the E20 motorway.
