Gl. Brydegaard is a hotel, a restaurant and a conference facility. The farm was originally built in 1796 and for many many years it was an ordinary Danish farm with cultivated fields. In about 1940 the farm was turned into a guesthouse for wealthy people from Copenhagen, who came here by train to stay for the summer.
