From the minute you arrive at the Paradehuset orangery at Gisselfeld Monastery, it doesn’t take long to realise you have entered a different universe. A place where time stands still, where life is lived differently, and where passion, diligence and personality merge in with the atmosphere.
The Paradehuset orangery at Gisselfeld Monastery stands as a beautiful and lovingly restored image from a world that can seem far from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. And when you meet Paradehuset’s two creators and tenants, landscape architects Stig Lauritsen and Greg Kobett, you are gripped by a natural sense of calm, surrendering to the atmosphere, the smells and the sounds.We have no fixed routines – Well, the plants need watering, they need to be pruned and the place must look nice, but other than that it’s all one big wonderful dream, which we hope will continue to exist for many, many more years
