Egelund Slot

What Egelund Slot does

Egelund Slot is a historic B2B conference and meeting venue located at Hillerødvejen 92 in Fredensborg, North Zealand, Denmark, approximately 40 minutes from Copenhagen. Built between 1915-17 as Denmark's youngest royal castle and originally commissioned for Queen Louise (wife of King Frederick VIII), the property was acquired by Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening (DA) in 1954 and has since been operated exclusively as a business conference center, with private events not accepted. The venue operates 12 modern meeting and conference rooms accommodating groups of 2 to 60 persons, all equipped with Clickshare wireless presentation systems, whiteboards, screens, and flipovers, alongside 37 overnight rooms with wireless internet. Matterport-powered 3D virtual tours enable remote prospect evaluation of facilities, and the culinary program under Head Chef Kim Madsen emphasizes seasonal Danish ingredients, plant-based/green cuisine, and curated wine pairings. The business model centers on tiered per-person meeting packages ranging from informal 2-4 hour sessions (DKK 275/person) through full-day and overnight stays (up to DKK 3,470/person), with supplementary revenue from wine menus, drinks packages, garden activities, and exclusive castle dinners. Distribution is primarily direct via phone, email, and website inquiry, supplemented by social media presence on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, and a built-in channel advantage through preferential pricing offered to DA member companies.
