Discover Virum

When looking for a hotel in Virum, it is worth first considering the interests you want to shape your stay. Virumparken has a disc golf course; Virum Kirke combines architectural history with a tapestry altarpiece. The Green Playground offers a cycling track and basketball, while Frederiksdal is located on the shores of Furesøen. These places therefore offer different starting points for planning your trip.

Outdoor activities

Visitors to Virumparken can use the disc golf course. If you would like to include this activity in your travel plans, it offers a specific recreational option in the area. Practical operating details may change, so check the latest information about the course before visiting.

The Green Playground in Virum offers something different: it has a paved cycling track with traffic lights, where children can learn basic road safety rules. There is also a lit basketball court. The playground is accessible to people with disabilities.

When choosing between the two recreational spots, the activity is the deciding factor: Virumparken is for disc golf, while The Green Playground offers a traffic-learning track and basketball. If you are travelling with children, the track’s educational purpose is a specific consideration; if disc golf is your priority, Virumparken is the place to go.

Virum Kirke: architectural history and art

Virum Kirke was built between 1937 and 1940. From 1957 to 1959, it was expanded into a cruciform church. The sequence of dates distinguishes the period in which it was built from its later architectural development; the cruciform design resulted from this expansion. Another striking feature is the altarpiece: a large tapestry woven by Benedikte Herlufsdatter and Jan Groth. The building’s development and the textile work thus offer two distinct cultural points of interest for planning your trip. The expansion followed around two decades later.

A pilgrimage walk in the Virum area takes place twice a year at Virum Kirke. Unlike the building phases and the altarpiece, it is tied to specific dates. If you would like to plan your trip around it, check the dates in advance.

Frederiksdal on Furesøen

Frederiksdal, an estate with an address in Virum, is located on the shores of Furesøen. Here, the focus is not on a single sporting activity or the architectural development of a church, but on the direct connection between the estate and the lakeshore. This offers a scenic focus for your trip, alongside the recreational options in the parks and the cultural interest of Virum Kirke. The lakeside setting therefore offers a different emphasis from the sporting activities in the park or the church’s architecture and art. If you would also like to consider waterside landscapes when choosing your destinations, Frederiksdal can shape this part of your plans.
