A Journey Back to the Early 1900s
In the south attic, you can experience the magical atmosphere of a cluttered storage room, like those found in areas of the house the gentry never visited.
Here, you can see how the attic was used for drying clothes during the winter and how it served as storage for food, old furniture, and items no longer in use — such as outdated furnishings, moth-eaten hunting trophies, old musical instruments, and birdcages that had been banished from the grand rooms.
The exhibition includes both interior décor and furnishings, combined with various light and sound installations, as well as a large model of the manor, where you can follow the maids’ route throughout the estate. In the attic, you can also still see the impressive roof structure, which remains original, with an undersealed roof and exposed rafters spanning the full 250 square meters of attic space.
Please note: only 25 people are allowed in the attic at a time.
The Attic
Here, objects and old furniture were stored when there was no longer room for them in the manor’s fine chambers
The attic was used as a drying loft, and the servants went about their daily routines up here. In the attic, there is a model of Gammel Estrup, where visitors can follow the housemaids’ route through the house via special audio narratives
Admire the impressive, original roof construction with exposed rafters and underslung roof. The roof’s more than 20,000 tiles were replaced in 2025
