The Retreat in Løgumkloster 🌿

Location

The retreat is set in scenic surroundings with meadows and a stream in the heart of Løgumkloster. From the retreat, there is direct access to the beautiful, newly restored abbey church and the Chapter House.

Rooms and common areas

The retreat features 47 rooms in total, styled in classic Danish design. Most rooms offer a private bath and toilet. There are also several lovely common areas, all beautifully furnished.

Design and interior 🪑

Løgumkloster Refugium is one of the few places in Denmark where the original 1950s design remains intact. The interior was curated by Børge Mogensen and also features works by Hans J. Wegner – preserved exactly as it was created.

The design is not just about aesthetics but an active part of the experience: the simple design, clean lines, and honest materials create a unique sense of peace. Everything is designed to support the very essence of a retreat: finding a place to withdraw and recharge.

History

The idea for the retreat was born in the 1930s when Provost Poul Schülein suggested establishing a home in the old monastery building where people could meditate and study aspects of Christianity. The occupation delayed the plan, but in the 1950s, Pastor Anders Bork Hansen revived the vision.
