Bakkehuset

BAKKEHUSET IS TEMPORARILY CLOSED
Bakkehuset is an authentic Danish Golden Age home where history, atmosphere, and storytelling come together. Surrounded by its historic garden, the house offers a vivid and intimate glimpse into everyday life in the early 19th century.

Step into the Golden Age
In the early 1800s, Bakkehuset was a vibrant hub of conversation, creativity, and ideas. It was home to the influential couple Kamma Rahbek and Knud Lyne Rahbek, who welcomed many of the leading writers, thinkers, and scientists of their time. Their home became a meeting place where culture flourished—where literature, philosophy, and science intertwined in lively discussions. A visit to Bakkehuset offers a rich journey into one of the most defining periods in Danish cultural history.
Through exhibitions, talks, workshops, and communal dining experiences, the house continues to celebrate the creativity, curiosity, and community of the Golden Age.

The Fairytale Academy
In the family-friendly area known as The Fairytale Academy, the stories of Hans Christian Andersen are brought to life in a playful and immersive scenographic installation.
Designed for both children and adults, this imaginative space invites visitors to explore freely and take part in creative workshops inspired by Andersen’s tales.

A Romantic Garden Retreat
Bakkehuset is embraced by a beautiful historic garden, inspired by the plants and aesthetics of Kamma Rahbek’s time. Here, you can wander among fragrant herbs, blooming flowers, and winding paths that evoke the charm of the 19th century.
At the heart of the garden lies the café, Bakkehusets Orangeri, where you can unwind and complete your visit with a cup of coffee.
