Kastanielys - it's a lifestyle.

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.

Lifestyle Products, POP-UP Café, and Community Engagement

In the high season, Kastanielys turns up the activity level, contributing to the life of Sjællands Odde with several exciting events that make the store a central gathering place for the area. During Easter and the summer months, Kastanielys opens a POP-UP café called "Madkassen" on the lawn in front of the store. Here, guests can enjoy homemade treats, freshly brewed coffee, hot chocolate, and homemade pancakes, which are especially popular with families. This outdoor café adds a cozy atmosphere and gives visitors the opportunity to relax and enjoy the surroundings after a visit to the store.

Besides candle-making and the café, Kastanielys offers a wide selection of lifestyle products from renowned brands like NORDAL, Ib Laursen, SIRIUS, Badeanstalten, Willow Tree, Cream, Kids By Friis, Sandra Rich, Det Gamle Apotek, and many more. The range covers everything from furniture and kitchen accessories to jewelry, arts and crafts, and ceramics, with always something new and exciting to discover on the shelves. Their selection changes with the seasons, allowing the shop to adapt to customers’ needs and create a unique atmosphere throughout the year. The wide assortment of practical and decorative items means that Kastanielys has something for every taste and interest.

The shop often receives special requests from customers wanting to create a specific atmosphere in their home or holiday house. Kastanielys does everything to meet these wishes and is happy to go the extra mile to source items that match customers’ specific desires. This personalized service is a major draw for the shop, and many customers return year after year, knowing they’ll get a unique and personal experience.

Kastanielys is also active in the local community, engaging in several activities and events in the area. During the high season, there are often events, workshops, and demonstration days where visitors can learn more about candle-making and the craft's history. Creative activities for children are also organized, allowing the whole family to enjoy a delightful day together.

Through their creative approach and focus on the local community, Kastanielys helps make Sjællands Odde an attractive and lively place, especially in the high season, when tourists and locals can gather around the many activities. Rikke and her team manage to create an atmosphere of coziness, quality, and creativity, ensuring that a visit to Kastanielys is not just about purchasing products but about experiencing something special that you take with you.
