Preserving Danish small-town
charm and history
In 2025, Studio Kathryn Larsen purchased the
Eskilstrup Forsamlingshus
to save it from demolition.
Only 90 minutes from Copenhagen, in the Station Town of Eskilstrup, there’s currently no informal gathering place where you can catch up with friends over coffee or meet for a knitting club. These activities often occur in a third space - a social meeting place outside the home and the workplace. When such spaces disappear, it leads to increased loneliness and a disconnection from the community.
Studio Kathryn Larsen’s goal is to renovate the entire Forsamlingshus with respect to the original architecture and interior heritage elements - transforming it into an important Culture House third space, together with a local community non-profit that we are helping to establish.
