The pursuit of excellence
Welcome In the immediate vicinity of the North Sea, 16 km of white sandy beach at Henne, and the wild life at Filsø – this is where you will find Henne Kirkeby Kro. Some people might think the location is slightly off the beaten track – somewhat of a detour – but definitely worth the journey.
A new era Behind the picturesque exteriors of the inn you will find a contemporary high quality interior setting – with a gourmet restaurant in the international high-end. Welcome to Henne Kirkeby Kro
Since 1790 Henne Kirkeby Kro has been the neighbour of the village church. The inn – today owned by Fænø Estate (www. faenoe.dk) in the hands of the Skouboe family – has been fully renovated from top to bottom with a contemporary approach to interior design and works of art.
From 2010, the neighbouring heath farm has also formed part of Henne Kirkeby Kro. With breakfast restaurant, conference room and three new bedrooms. Also the kitchen has entered a new era. This is where our chefs live out their ambitious dreams developing gourmet menus respecting the history, soul and spirit of this place.
The garden kitchen The inn’s chefs gather many of their ingredients from the legendary kitchen gardens right outside the windows. The gardens at Henne provide a sensory experience for you as a guest when you stroll around the gardens. It just gives you a good feeling. Before or after a meal in our restaurant. Freshness and purity of ingredients have always been key features of the West Jutland gourmet cuisine. The innovative staff at Henne Kirkeby Kro allow themselves to be inspired by
fine ingredients from our gardens, our neighbourhood - and the rest of the world. Ask for Chef’s table if you go for something even more out of the ordinary. Our sommelier composes wine menus in harmony with the changing seasonal menus. In addition our sommelier also readily recommends suitable wines from our extensive wine list.
Rooms out of the ordinary A continental Hästens bed combined with an innovative bathroom and a cosy atmosphere make your stay in one of the inn’s five individually designed bedrooms something quite unique – not to mention the breakfast.
It is the same with the bedrooms as with the rest of the adventures you can experience at Henne Kirkeby Kro. We aim to give our guests just a little bit more than they expect. Good night – and sleep well.
Fresh and pure The closeness to the North Sea makes our vegetables grow a little bit slower, which adds a little bit more flavour. Througout Henne Kirkeby Kro’s two centuries long history the gardens have been providing the kitchen with vegetables, berries, root vegetables and herbs. Even to this day, the gardens play an important role, and for this reason we are constantly expanding and improving the design of the gardens.
Among others with landscape architect Jens Hendeliowitz, who has also been in charge of the renovation of a number of Danish palace gardens.

The natural choice Johannes Larsen, the well-known painter from the Danish island Funen, went shooting at Filsø in 1913 and regularly returned over the next three decades. He always took up residence at Henne Kirkeby Kro. The “Bird Painter” enjoyed his own special seat at his regular table where he found the peace to absorb himself in his nature depictions.
The inn has its own private helipad.
