A Manorial world
ENCOUNTER 2017
September 21st-23rd, 2017 at Gammel Estrup – the Manor Museum, Denmark
The Danish Research Centre for Manorial Studies is hosting the conference at Gammel Estrup – the Manor Museum, Denmark. The 2017 conference is the third meeting of the ENCOUNTER and this year’s theme will be on the landscapes of the North European manors and country houses. Not just the grand estates but all manors and country houses, large and small, have had a notable influence, and they still play an important role in the physical outline as well as the identity of place in contemporary European rural communities.
The programme consists of two conference days and one excursion day, and will present papers from Germany, Great Britain, Norway, Sweden, The Netherlands and Denmark. Confirmed speakers include Arne Bugge Amundsen (University of Oslo), Heike Düselder (Museum Lüneburg), Carsten Porskrog Rasmussen (Museum Sønderjylland) and Fred Vogelzang (Kenniscentrum voor kastelen en buitenplats).
Why Should You Attend?
Join your European colleagues for three days of manor and country house history, hear from our esteemed speakers, network with international specialists and gain valuable insights. This is the premier interdisciplinary gathering of manor and country house experts from museums and universities across Europe, and we want you to be there!
