A relaxed place for breakfast, lunch, coffee and local products - set at the entrance to Dragsholm Slot.
Herskabsstalden is the first place you encounter on arrival at Dragsholm Slot. Here you will find the reception, where you check in for your stay, and it is also where breakfast is served for guests staying at the castle. During holiday periods, the café is open, offering a relaxed setting for both hotel guests and visitors. A place to pause and unwind, with the castle’s history and surrounding nature as a quiet backdrop.
Table reservations are not available in Herskabsstalden. Guests are welcome to visit on a walk-in basis.
For a more substantial meal, we recommend lunch or dinner at the castle’s Bistro. Here, the menu is shaped by the local landscape and seasonal ingredients of Odsherred.
Parking on the castle grounds is complimentary when you make a purchase at Herskabsstalden or the castle.
In Herskabsstalden, breakfast is served with a focus on seasonal ingredients and the local pantry surrounding Dragsholm Slot. Begin the day in calm surroundings with flavours from Odsherred, homemade baked goods and selected products from producers we know and work with.
Visit the Castle Shop in Herskabsstalden and take a small piece of Dragsholm Slot home with you. Here, history, quality, and regional roots come together in a carefully curated selection of products that extend the experience of your stay and preserve the feeling of the place – even after your visit.
The shop offers the castle’s own specialties, fine ingredients from the local area, wines, delicacies, and seasonal selections – from the castle’s own sausages and Arla Unika cheeses to eggs from Bertram, homemade marmalades, quality meat from Slagter Jakob in Kalundborg, and crisp vegetables from Lammefjord.

The assortment is curated with a focus on aesthetics, quality, and storytelling. Here you will find pieces that can create atmosphere in a summer house or serve as a special gift – for a host or hostess, for children, or for yourself.
Step into the Castle Shop and experience the soft textiles from Studio Feder, discover the distinctive pots from Bergs Potter, and enjoy the scent of handmade soaps from Munkholm.
The Castle Shop is created as a natural extension of Dragsholm Slot – a place where you can take the memories, flavours, and atmosphere with you.

As part of the flavours of summer at Dragsholm Slot, you can now discover ice pops from Vild Is in the Castle Shop – created with respect for nature and the ingredients it provides.
At Vild Is, each ice pop is handmade in Denmark using pure, organic ingredients, free from artificial colours and additives, and crafted with a simple approach to flavour. Nothing unnecessary is added – only what is needed to highlight the fruit’s natural character. The result is ice pops with a fresh, vibrant taste that evokes sun-ripened berries and the Danish summer landscape.
At Dragsholm Slot, we have selected four varieties that each capture the essence of the season: Red Currant, Raspberry, Strawberry, and Sea Buckthorn. All ice pops are vegan and made with natural ingredients. They are also gluten-free – with the exception of the red currant variety.
The flavours range from lightly tart and refreshing to sweet and full-bodied – perfect as a cooling pause in the castle park or as a small treat to round off your visit.
A simple pleasure, where the pure taste of nature is allowed to shine.
Herskabsstalden was originally built as a counterpart to the dairy that had been constructed five years earlier on the opposite side of the road leading to the castle. Together, the two neo-Gothic buildings formed a gateway to Dragsholm Slot. When the dairy was demolished in the 1940s, Herskabsstalden remained - once home to the estate’s riding horses and carriages.
Today, the building has been thoughtfully transformed to serve a new purpose within the life of the castle, while continuing to play an active role in the story of the surrounding region. Just as the castle once helped drive the development of local agriculture - introducing drainage systems, steam power, profit-sharing initiatives for farmers and the reclamation of Lammefjorden - Herskabsstalden now contributes to the growth of agriculture and food production. Facilities have been established for food craftsmanship, processing and the sale of local produce and artisanal goods.
At the same time, the building’s defining architectural features have been carefully restored. The large carriage doors now stand open to welcome guests, and the former horse stalls have been adapted into spaces for visitors. The result is a setting that conveys both the building’s history and its contemporary function. Externally, the restoration has reinstated the stable’s classical appearance while ensuring its preservation for the future.
The project "Herskabsstalden at Dragsholm Slot: Innovation and Development" has received support from LAG Midt-Nordvestsjælland and Realdania. We are grateful for this valuable support.
