Things to do

“Numerous Roman popes, our predecessors, have after many deliberations given you and your order permission to raise your voice in your monasteries and estate to praise the divine”

(three abbots in a letter from 1326)

Esrum Abbey is an adventurous attraction! That means that we primarily communicate through immersive experiences. We’ve got a lively event programme where we vividly make the story of the place come to life. If you want to know more, you can immerse yourself in the place’s history – the building, the monks, life, relations to the outside etc – inside the abbey.

Or you could also just sit down in the beautiful setting and see why the French monks decided to put an abbey here 850 years ago for yourself.
