The cellar

A Journey Back to the Early 1900s

In the cellars beneath the main building of the house, you enter the world of the servants – a world rarely visited by the noble family.

Here are many of the functions that were associated with the manor house’s household. In Gammel Estrup’s cellar you can thus see a srevant's hall decorated with long tables, where the servants ate and relaxed in their sparse leisure.

In the room next door, you find an activity room for children, where you can explore the world of the servants. You can, among other things, look in through the door in the large stove, lift the heavy iron pots, open the drawers in the maid’s chest of drawers, listen to the servants’ own stories and experience the people’s everyday life on the manors more than 100 years ago.
