By the River – an exclusive meeting place like no other

Flexible meeting packages in unique surroundings

Ideal for board and executive meetings, strategy seminars, kickoff events, team building, exclusive dinners, client meetings, and retreats.
By the River is where historical charm, architectural luxury, and the wild beauty of nature come together. Located by Esrum Å on a 7,000-year-old Stone Age settlement, the venue offers panoramic views of the river and unspoiled nature. From the large panoramic windows of the house, you can experience deer, kingfishers, and birds of prey – a natural experience that brings peace and inspiration.

With carefully selected catering and access to both modern facilities and scenic surroundings, you will have the perfect setting for focus, presence, and exceptional results. There is also the opportunity to experience kayak tours on Esrum Å – from short trips to the sea (about 15 minutes) to longer “Nordic Amazon” adventures upstream – or wellness activities such as sauna and River dips. Atmospheric meals can be prepared over an open fire at our bonfire area, creating unforgettable moments.

Below, you can see examples of three different package options. We can tailor them to your specific wishes and needs, ensuring you get the perfect setting and experience that suits you best.
