The Hangar

Our largest room at Ungdomsøen is located in the middle of the island. The hangar consists of two large compartments connected by three large openings in the dividing wall. The two rooms can be combined for larger events with many participants or divided by a curtain if you want to use the space for different purposes like dinner, meeting, groupwork or an assembly. One side of the hangar is all windows, which give the room a nice light, while screens and projectors are hung on the opposite wall for presentations. The hangar measures 230 m2 and can accommodate up to 200 participants in rows of chairs.

Hangar C has two projectors, two screens and a full speaker sound system.

The Artillery Workshop

The Artillery Workshop is one of our newest meeting rooms, renovated in 2024. Throughout its history it has had many purposes, amongst others being the repair shop for the military artillery back in the 1950's. The room has a cozy atmosphere with its stripped brick walls, arched ceiling and warm lights. This is the perfect space to host your meeting, workshop or an intimate dinner in rustic settings.

The Artillery Workshop can have up to 90 people in rows of chairs, and it is possible to add a transportable interactive screen with additional speaker sound system.

The Big Gym

As the name suggests, this used to be a part of the soldiers daily training on the fortress. Deep inside the fortress you now find this room as a light rectangular meeting place or space for indoor activities. The arched hall has two interactive screens with aditional speaker sound system, it is spacious with about 5 x 20m and it fits up to 100 people in rows of chairs.

The Small Gym

The small gym is connected by double doors to the big gym and is therefore a perfect group- or break-out room. The small gym is also a great space for smaller intimate meetings or dinners. The small gym has one interactive screen with additional speaker soundsystem, it is about 5 x 10m and fits up to 42 people in rows of chairs.

The Amphitheater

The amphitheater is built in the largest remaining cannon emplacement on the island. With a campfire in the center and seating for up to 200 people, the amphitheater is ideal for larger gatherings. You are fairly protected from the wind in the amphitheater and can gather for workshops, evaluations, presentations, concerts or campfire fun, with an amazing view of the Sound and the offshore wind farm.

The cannon emplacements

Our historic cannon emplacements serve as unique spots for your team activities, workshops, dancefloor, campfire site or something entirely different. They create a very special isolated room for you to dive into your community together, while life around the rest of the island continue.

There are several big as well as small and intimate cannon emplacement spaces around the entire island. They are free to use by all guests on the island.
