A Hidden Gem for Everyone

Discover one of Denmark's few well-preserved and authentic artist homes, Malergården, which has been the residence of the Swane family since 1934. Here, you can immerse yourself in the world of the Swan family and see their paintings in their original surroundings. Sigurd Swane, one of Denmark's renowned painters, and his wife Agnete created this oasis of art and nature in Odsherred, making it a must-visit for anyone exploring the area.

Malergården - More Than Just Art

Malergården is not just for art lovers; it's an experience for the entire family. Step into this unique world and get a glimpse of a family who relocated to the countryside to create a small farming paradise, embracing art and welcoming guests into their home. The artist's retreat offers insights into a creative life in rural Denmark, set up exactly as it was in 1934. Wander through the light-filled rooms, where scents and sounds evoke a time gone by. Explore the studio, the lovely sitting rooms, and the Billedskole, where you can create your own artwork with free drawing and painting materials.

Beautiful Surroundings and Historic Rooms

Malergården is surrounded by an enchanting garden featuring dahlia beds, box hedges, apple groves, and a lookout point with panoramic views over the meadows leading to Lammefjorden. Every corner of this garden offers new scenes to explore, from colorful blooms to shaded paths that mirror the natural beauty captured in Swane's paintings. Inside, the original rooms display Sigurd Swane's paintings and authentic furnishings, preserved as they were nearly a century ago. Step into the large dining room, the Studio, the Red Room, the Garden Room, the Kitchen Room, the Blue Room, and the children's bedrooms. There is even a special room dedicated to the poet Valdemar Rørdam, giving a rare view into the artistic influences and social life of the Swane family.

Practical Information

Please note that Malergården is located at the end of a narrow, one-way gravel road. Drive slowly, use the passing places, and take care with the deep ditches along the way. Malergården is open year-round, allowing visitors to experience it in every season, each with its own charm. The estate also offers a cozy café where you can enjoy local refreshments, along with a museum shop filled with art-related gifts and mementos to remember your visit.

An Experience Beyond Art

Malergården offers more than just a chance to view art; it’s a journey into a simpler, slower way of life rooted in the Danish countryside. Families can enjoy a relaxed day of exploration, and children can experience the joy of creating in a setting that invites curiosity and creativity. The Billedskole offers a variety of free materials, from crayons to watercolors, so young visitors can let their imagination run free, drawing inspiration from the scenic surroundings.

A Place Where Art and Nature Unite

In the heart of Odsherred, Malergården is a sanctuary where art, culture, and nature come together in perfect harmony. The estate’s grounds and rooms reflect the distinct beauty of the Odsherred landscape, a feature that has earned it recognition as a UNESCO Global Geopark region. This connection between art and nature is felt at every turn, from the lush gardens to the tranquil interior spaces, making Malergården a truly special destination for locals and tourists alike.

Immerse Yourself in Local History

Malergården is more than just a local attraction; it’s an important part of Odsherred's cultural heritage. With its ties to Denmark’s Golden Age of Painting and a setting that has inspired generations of artists, Malergården offers a unique opportunity to experience the cultural richness of the Odsherred region. Visit with friends, family, or on your own, and take in the quiet elegance of this artist’s home. Each room tells a story of creativity, dedication, and a love for nature, inviting visitors to step back in time and feel the artistic spirit that defines this remarkable place.

Come and experience a place where art and nature come together in the most beautiful way!
