What we do

We are a community just outside Roskilde, 30 km west of Copenhagen, Denmark, with 20 apartments, a common house, and a lovely garden. We are a mix of singles and families, with and without children. Most of us have jobs and lots of other activities outside the community. We share common evening meals around 4 to 5 days a week.

Our Vision

Sociality, friendship. We try to be quite flexible, allowing people to have individual preferences, and only have a minimum of compulsory activities and obligations.
