Kastanielys
Candle-Making and Creative Experiences for the Whole Family
Kastanielys on Sjællands Odde is not just a store but an experience and a gathering place for both locals and visitors who want to experience genuine Danish craftsmanship and creativity. The shop is especially known for its candle-making, where Rikke and her team create beautiful, handmade candles using traditional methods. The candles are crafted with care and tradition, with the wicks repeatedly dipped in wax to achieve the desired shape and size. This process gives each candle its own unique character and creates a warm atmosphere, whether it’s used at home or given as a special gift.
A unique experience for both children and adults is the chance to color candles in the store. They can choose from various color vats and create their own designs, making Kastanielys a perfect destination for families and those who want to craft something by hand and take home a memorable experience.
