Gain new insights in a historic setting

At Gammel Estrup, Denmark’s Manor House Museum, you are invited to a knowledge fair where current research and new insights are brought to life amidst the historic surroundings. Here you will meet researchers and experts who share their insights into the culture, history and society of the manor house.

The event forms part of the museum’s work on research and outreach in collaboration with, amongst others, the Danish Centre for Manor House Research, which aims to disseminate knowledge about the significance of manor houses in Denmark and internationally.

Experience research at eye level

The Knowledge Fair offers you the chance to get up close to research through presentations, dialogue and communication at eye level. You can learn more about topics such as the life of the nobility, the development of the manor house and the historical narratives that still shape the landscape today.

The presentations often draw on specific stories, people and events, offering a vivid insight into the past and its significance for the present.

Gammel Estrup is Denmark’s largest manor house museum, where you can experience both the life of the gentry and the daily lives of the servants in authentic surroundings. The museum is actively involved in both research and communication, making the knowledge fair a natural part of the experience.

When you visit the knowledge fair, you can also explore the historic halls, exhibitions and surroundings, which together provide a comprehensive experience of life at the manor house.
