Folkeuniversitetscentret Skærum Mølle
Skærum Mølle's history dates back to the Middle Ages, and Skærum Mølle has belonged to both Tvis Monastery and the Nørre Vosborg manor.
The main building, "Det Hvide Hus," was constructed in 1865 by Councillor A.E.M. Tang, who also owned the Nørre Vosborg manor.
The farm buildings from 1928 and the retirement home from 1914 are classic examples of "Bedre Byggeskik" – a significant period in Danish architecture.
Today, you have the opportunity to stay at Skærum Mølle's Bed and Breakfast in good single and double rooms. All rooms come with private bathrooms. Your stay includes a breakfast buffet in the Fireplace Lounge.

In "Den Gamle Brugs," the inventory and goods from the first years of the cooperative association around 1910-1915 are exhibited.
Additionally, there is the "Stone House" by Per Kirkeby. The building is conceived as a sculpture in the landscape. The building was designed by the internationally renowned artist Per Kirkeby. On June 1, 2024, the UNESCO Global Geopark West Jutland will open an exhibition focusing on clay-sand-stone-salt.
Throughout his career, the artist Per Kirkeby has written, modeled, and filmed when the space on the canvas became too cramped. When Geology Professor Arne Noe-Nygaard asked his student Per Kirkeby if he would design the Stone House at the People's University Center Skærum Mølle, the ideas began to come together in a higher unity. Per Kirkeby was originally trained as a geologist and had already created his first brick sculptures by that time. The house was built in 1996.
Since 1986, Skærum Mølle has been the setting for the People's University Center. The People's University is based on popular education dissemination of research methods and results. Lectures, seminars, and excursions are regularly held at Skærum Mølle. These events are open to everyone. You can find information about upcoming events on Skærum Mølle's website.
Skærum Mølle is a suitable place with peace and beautiful nature, offering good opportunities for immersion.
