From the Refuge there is direct access to the beautiful newly restored monastery church and to the Chapter Hall. There are 47 rooms, all of which are decorated in classic Danish design, most with their own shower and toilet.
There are some wonderful common rooms - Fireplace room, Living room, Gathering room and Dining room - all beautifully furnished.
The story:
From the 1930s, Provost Poul Schülein got the idea to furnish a kind of home in the old monastery building, where one could come and meditate and study in matters surrounding Christianity.
The occupation postponed the idea for the time being, but in the 1950s pastor Anders Bork Hansen took up the idea again. In 1954, a group was set up to develop the Christian guest home and course site, and the word refugium was used for the home.
The refuge was built at the monastery in 1959-61 thanks to financial support from many places. The refuge was formed as a self-governing institution and the board received representatives from a large number of church, cultural and national associations.
