When the day's meeting agenda is complete and your mind is still buzzing with impressions, it's time for a breather. An opportunity to calm down and leave room for reflection - or simply enjoy a well-deserved break in comfortable surroundings.
Since 2009, Bernstorff Castle has hosted countless conferences and meetings of both small and large formats. That's why we know all the best tips for meetings - before, during and after. In this post, we've gathered our tips for getting back into gear after a successful meeting.
A walk in nature
Letting your steps find their own rhythm between old trees and open spaces.
There's something special about stepping out of the meeting room and into the fresh air - and there are actually several good reasons to go for a walk both during and after the meeting.
Walk and talk meetings improve memory, for example, and more blood flows to the brain after just 20 minutes of walking - and of course, the body gets a much-needed vitamin D boost from the natural daylight.
When you slow down and lower your shoulders, your perspective often changes - maybe an idea falls into place, maybe a thought takes shape. Or maybe it's just enough to smell the seasonal scent in the air and let the silence do the talking.
Even though our meeting rooms in the north of Zealand invite both reflection and reflection, something happens in both body and mind when you get out of the fixed and formal setting of the meeting room - and here Bernstorff Castle shines with its scenic surroundings.
The inspiring surroundings of Bernstorffsparken are one of several reasons why Bernstorff Castle is a great choice for a perfect conference venue.

A place for informal conversations
Some days require a slow ending - perhaps a place to let the day's events and impressions sink in.
In a soft chair, with a glass in your hand and soft voices in the background, you get a different kind of peace. A sanctuary from the structure of the day, where time feels a little more fluid for a while.
The Castle Cellar at Bernstorff Castle offers the perfect change of scene. Cozy furnished with comfortable lounge furniture, the Castle Cellar offers an informal respite.
Between the historic walls you'll find three atmospheric spaces - a wine room for deep conversations, a fireplace room where the flames cast a soft glow over the evening, and a TV room where you can catch up on the day's news after a long day focused on the meeting agenda.
Finally, Slotskælderen also offers a bar where you and your colleagues can enjoy a well-chosen drink in informal surroundings.
Whether the evening continues with professional reflections or light conversations, Slotskælderen sets the framework for an ending where work is at a minimum - and presence at a maximum.

A culinary icing on the cake
After a long day of intense discussions, it's often the meal that brings things together.
In quiet surroundings, with dim lighting and well-prepared dishes, conversations can continue at a more relaxed pace.
When the flavors are seasonal and the plate is a thoughtful combination of the simple and the exquisite, it's easier to sit back and enjoy the moment.
At Bernstorff Castle, every meal is an experience that evolves with the seasons and the ingenuity of the kitchen. Here, pickles, preserves, marinades and smokes are made with great love for the ingredients, which are always fresh and often organic.
In this historic setting, you can enjoy dinner in one of the five beautiful living rooms, where high ceilings, meter-high windows and views of Bernstorff Castle Gardens provide the perfect backdrop for a relaxed culinary highlight of the day.
