Gisselfeld Kloster is a Renaissance estate founded in 1547 by the Lord High Chancellor Peder Oxe, offering celebrations in its Peder Oxe Hall, in the historic manor stables, or beneath the Victorian iron-and-glass Paradehuset Orangery — set within 40 hectares of English-landscape parkland that draws 40,000 visitors a year. The venue can accommodate up to 450 guests for your wedding celebration.
Gisselfeld was founded in 1547 by Peder Oxe, Lord High Chancellor of Denmark and one of the most powerful figures of the Renaissance court. The estate he created — castle, park, ponds, farmland — has remained largely intact for nearly five centuries, which gives it a quality of accumulated time that newer venues simply cannot manufacture. The castle park, laid out at the end of the 19th century by the English landscape architect H. E. Millner, covers 40 hectares of rolling countryside and draws tens of thousands of visitors each year on its own merits.
The scale of the estate creates remarkable flexibility for weddings. The Peder Oxe Hallen holds 550 guests for a seated celebration — unusual capacity for a historic venue of this character. At the other end of the scale, the Paradehuset Orangery, a Victorian masterpiece of iron and glass built around 1876 and housing exotic plants in three original climate zones, creates an intimate setting for smaller parties. For couples who want to feel the full weight of Danish history around them on the most personal of days, Gisselfeld is without equal in Zealand.
