Bakkehuset
Step into the Danish Golden Age
Bakkehuset was an essential meeting place in the Danish Golden Age, hosted by Kamma and Knud Lyne Rahbek and frequently visited by Hans Christian Andersen, Oehlenschläger, H.C. Ørsted and other poets, scientists and opinion formers of the romantic period.
Today, Bakkehuset is buzzing with art and culture. The historic house and its surrounding gardens provide an authentic insight into the way of life in the early 19th century, its unique atmosphere and style. A visit to Bakkehuset is a visceral experience of one of the most central periods in Danish cultural history; the period later known as the Golden Age.
Hans Christian Andersen visited Bakkehuset as a young man and here he found inspiration and support to become a writer. His famous tales servers as inspiration for creative activities in the cozy family area, Eventyrakademiet (the Fairytale Academy).
Experience the newly renovated romantic garden around Bakkehuset. You can enjoy coffee and historically inspired food in the orangery, beautifully situated in the middle of the blossoming garden.
The café is located in the historic garden and serves traditional open-faced sandwiches (Smørrebrød).
