The story

In 1744 Count Reventlow was granted royal permission to run a tavern and distil spirits at Falsled.⁴ The inn later kept a general store, took part in the village's maritime trade, and served as a summer boarding house with dancing and a small cinema.⁴ Lene and Sven Grønlykke bought it in the late 1960s and made it a modern inn.⁴ It sits by Helnæs Bay in South Funen, bakes its pastries in a wood-fired oven and takes herbs and vegetables from its own garden.²³
