History
Falsled Kro traces its buildings to the 1500s on the south coast of Funen in Denmark. In 1744 it was granted a royal privileged inn charter by Count Reventlow; over the centuries the property also served as a smuggler's inn, a general store, a boarding house, a cinema and a petrol station.
In 1969 Lene and Sven Grønlykke bought the property and transformed it into a celebrated gourmet inn — the same couple who later created Copenhagen's Kong Hans Kælder in 1976. Today Falsled Kro is a Relais & Châteaux member and Denmark's only five-star hotel outside Copenhagen, with 26 rooms and a MICHELIN Key. It is co-owned by the Grønlykke family together with former footballer Michael Laudrup and winemaker Peter Sisseck.
