Højriis Castle – an enchanting and fun experience for the whole family

The Mystery at Højriis Castle

Every summer, Højriis Castle is transformed into the setting of a live murder mystery. In the historic halls and atmospheric corridors, a story unfolds filled with secrets, suspicion, and clues. As a guest, you are not just a spectator – you become a detective in a story reminiscent of classic Agatha Christie tales.

A living mystery in the castle halls

The Mystery at Højriis Castle is an annual summer event where the castle’s grand surroundings form the stage for an exciting crime story. When the doors open during the summer holidays, guests step directly into a narrative that unfolds throughout rooms and corridors.

Actors inhabit the castle and bring the story to life. Each character carries secrets, and through conversations, letters, and small clues, the story gradually comes together.

You are part of the story

As a visitor, you take on the role of a detective. Along the way, it is important to keep your eyes and ears open. Listen at the doors, read documents, and notice even the smallest details. Who is telling the truth – and who is trying to hide something?

As the clues come together, the mystery begins to take shape. Together with family or friends, you try to uncover the truth and reveal what really happened at the castle.

A day in a 1920s atmosphere

The story unfolds in an atmosphere reminiscent of the 1920s. The castle’s historic surroundings, the lively characters, and the dramatic narrative blend into a unified experience where imagination and reality almost merge.

The Mystery at Højriis Castle is an experience for the whole family – a day filled with curiosity, laughter, excitement, and storytelling in one of the most atmospheric settings by the Limfjord.
