LO-skolen

 

Lo-skolen is an educational institution with close ties to the Danish labour movement. It is a modern and flexible center for conferences and seminars. It has 18,500 square meters, two hundred bedrooms, all with individual phones, showers and toilets. Ninety of these can accommodate two persons.
 
The college offers a wide variety of training courses for trade union members within the framework of the Danish LO (TUC) education system. The college takes on development of tailor-made training for private or public enterprises as well as local unions and has, with around fifteen full time tutors, the potential to lift almost any task in adult education. Lo-skolen is also widely used for Danish and international seminars and conferences of all kinds.

The college is beautifully situated in a park by the sea. From the college you will find there's an excellent view of the sea, and the surrounding woods and golf courses. The college is in itself a piece of art, originally designed by Danish architects Jarl Heger and Ebbe and Karen Clemmensen in 1969. The same architects have carried out all later reconstruction so that the design of the whole institution, from the general concept, the ceilings of large rooms and down to details such as chairs and lamps, has the same mark of quality and taste.

The college has one of Denmark's finest collections of modern Danish art with several hundred unique paintings and sculptures. Any visitor will feel how this goes hand in hand with the design of the house and the nature surrounding it.
