Practical information

Here you will find information that is good to know before your visit.

Keep in mind that the castle can be a dangerous playground for children who are left unsupervised. It is the parents’ responsibility to supervise their children. Of course, the staff also try to be attentive to avoid accidents.

Parking

Adjacent to Glimmingehus there is free parking for cars and buses There is free disabled parking inside the entrance to the castle grounds. Sound your horn at the barrier and our staff will let you in.

Toilets

Toilets can be found at the car park at the back of the entrance building, where there is also a disabled toilet with a changing table. At the castle yard, there are toilets in the Roaster’s house, but they are not fully adapted in terms of size. The café, on the other hand, has a disabled toilet, as well as a regular one.

Café Borggården

Here you can buy sandwiches, bread and cakes, as well as ice cream and drinks. Visiting only Mannz Bageri at Café Borggården is free, but requires a special sticker which is available at the entrance.

The café is mainly open during high season.

Packed lunch

It is perfectly possible to eat packed lunches in the castle grounds. Next to the building workshop there is a patio with tables and benches. There are also plenty of large, lovely grassy areas to sit on around the moat. Unfortunately, there is no possibility to sit under cover in case of bad weather. You will find bins in the area.

We would like to urge you to close your lunch bags properly if you leave them unattended. The birds at Glimmingehus like to take a bite!

Museum shop

You will find our shop in the entrance hall, where you can buy postcards, souvenirs and ice cream. During school visits, we like to see that the students are divided into smaller groups and that there is always an adult with them when they visit the store.

Photographing

With us, it is permitted to photograph objects and all spaces. Feel free to take a selfie in our pillory. But watch your head!

Remember not to publish photos of others without their consent. The wild man greets that he likes to be photographed and that it is ok to post photos of him.

Storage

Unfortunately, we do not have lockers for storing bags or other belongings.
