Gelskov Manor is located in the middle of an original and unspoiled manor landscape, so nature, in the form of streams, permanent meadows, 200-year-old oak trees, breeding birds of prey, an untamed park and an ice-cold bathing lake, is right outside the door. The estate is a great location for family and friends reunions. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate wild parties with large alcohol consumption. A stay is ideal for contemplation, as the architecture, nature and interior design form a whole and call for the visitor's presence.
Gelskov is a historic building from 1700/1917 owned by a noble family since 1773. The main house was built in 1917 in an accomplished and beautiful neoclassical architectural style. The estate is decorated throughout with a large, private collection of French antiques and curiosities, where each room is unique with views and either morning or evening sun. Gelskov Estate, a fully equipped private home, is only rented out as a whole to groups, so you have the rented unit to yourselves. Everything you will need during your stay is here. Guests have access to a fully equipped, non-industrial kitchen.
A short drive away are sandy beaches, a golf course and the archipelago with several small, local ferry routes. South Funen offers a suitable landscape for hiking and running enthusiasts with a 220 km continuous and marked route on the Archipelago Trail. The 75 km long South Funen riding route and fine roads for road cyclists are also a short distance from the estate. Cultural attractions include Fåborg Museum, Egeskov Castle, Heartland Festival or Brandts Klædefabrik, as well as countless local craftsmen and fine restaurants.
All beds can be separated from a double bed to two single beds on request. Discounts can be offered for longer stays.

Highlights from Hilde Christine
Host since April 2023
- Feel the wings of history and find peace in the time pocket of the beautiful old estate
- Be embraced by the aesthetic setting in an interior with unique antiques
- Gather the extended family in the high-ceilinged rooms and unfold freely in the large park
I'm originally from Copenhagen, but have now lived outside the city for 32 years. Trained as a midwife and educator with versatile interests in the spectrum between culture and nature. I have lived on the estate since 2015, but since 2020 it has been possible to rent Gelskov as a complete take-over. I am concerned with preserving and curating the atmosphere of this historic place - an authentic, aesthetic, homely and very peaceful setting, which in one word can probably best be described as a rare pocket of time, an atmosphere far from the fast pace of the modern world, which very quickly makes my guests' shoulders drop
