Skalm Hvide was a North Zealand nobleman who had large landed properties on several locations in North Zealand way back in Svend Estridsens time around 1100. He was the founder of the strong Hvide family which included powerful men such as Asser Rig- Esbern Snare and Absalon. Joerlunde Kirke is one of the oldest churches on Zealand and it was built at Skjalm Hvides orders.
The family-run Skjalm Hvide Hotel is situated in the village street in Joerlunde a stone throw from the church and naturally the name refers to the builder of the church. The family Willadsen bought the hotel in 1981. Since then they have extended the hotel with more rooms and a restaurant. In 1994 the hotel acquired the castle which is a patrician villa from 1991 right beside the hotel and it was converted into banqueting- conference rooms- a bridal suite and a tower room on the first floor.
Today the hotel is run by the 2nd generation namely Mette and Bo Willadsen. In their restaurant Restaurant Skjalm the menu card consists of homely fare from Monday to Thursday in the form of good Danish food of a high quality. It is also possible to have a Danmenu composed of the homely fare plus a dessert or a first course. On Fridays and Saturdays the restaurant has a 3-course menu depending on the ingredients of the season and the chefs creativity. The whole week there is an a la carte menu with courses from the Danish-French cuisine.
It only takes 40 minutes by car to the centre of Copenhagen.
