A unique place for conferences, events and weddings in Skåne

Elina Nilsson

Are you looking for a truly unique venue for your next corporate event, executive team conference, or wedding celebration in Skåne? Just outside Hörby, amidst the tranquility of the Skåne countryside, stands an imposing former Buddhist temple. Welcome to Nordic Meetings and Retreats—a conference and event venue unlike any other!

The country road winds between two cow pastures, leading us into the forest and onto a small gravel side road. Just around the bend, nestled in a forest valley, rises the magnificent temple building (formerly known as Yangtorp). As soon as you step through the gates, you leave the stress of everyday life behind. Here, Asian architecture, grand aesthetics, and modern conference facilities come together in an environment that fosters focus, creativity, and renewed energy.

Nordic Meetings and Retreats vid första anblick

A conference facility like no other

Organizing a conference or event in Skåne is often about striking the right balance between excellent meeting facilities and an inspiring setting. At Nordic Meetings and Retreats, flexibility is key and the possibilities are virtually endless—whether for an intimate executive meeting or a large-scale corporate event.

The tour made it clear just how extensive the possibilities are here. The building offers a range of flexible conference rooms and spaces for team-building, lectures, workshops, and social gatherings. There is capacity to host large groups for day events and accommodate up to approximately 120 overnight guests for multi-day functions. Yet, there are also quiet nooks for rest and rejuvenation—spots where the sunlight streams in and a sense of calm prevails. Ample social areas are also available for socializing, mingling, and post-dinner conversation.

Personalized rooms and a unique atmosphere

You won’t find any conventional, cookie-cutter hotel rooms here. Each guest room is individually decorated with a unique character and comes in a variety of styles. Every room has its own soul, distinctive details, and a story of its own.

Options range from cozy single rooms for those seeking some time to themselves to spacious double and triple rooms featuring sleeping areas, lounge spaces, and luxuriously appointed bathrooms. For larger groups, there are also flexible accommodation options that allow many participants to stay on-site.

Harmony, health, and magnificent architecture

The building, formerly a Buddhist temple, is still defined by its unique Asian architecture, featuring beautiful details, carvings, and Buddha statues. Both indoors and outdoors, you will find exquisite details, carvings, and so many Buddha statues that they are almost impossible to count.

One of the complex’s most impressive landmarks is located in the peaceful courtyard: a magnificent Buddha statue weighing a full 24 tons. The statue lends a distinctive character to the site and evokes the sense of calm and presence that permeates the entire complex.

Team building and activities with nature right around the corner

With the beautiful nature of MittSkåne right on the doorstep, it is easy to take meetings or team-building activities outdoors. Combine intensive meeting sessions with fresh air and nature walks in the lush surroundings, or opt for goal-oriented team-building and group exercises in a unique setting. For those wishing to tailor the experience with specific activities, events, and dinners, there is great flexibility to create something truly unique.

Viewed from the gravel road leading down to the temple, the building exudes an air of mystery, inevitably sparking curiosity about what lies within its walls. Yet, inside the old temple, large windows flood the space with magical light and frame the surrounding landscape. At this time of year—autumn—the trees shift from green to orange, and cows graze in the pasture.

Nordic Meetings and Retreats thus offers a conference and event venue rich in possibilities, regardless of the season. It is a perfect setting for weddings and celebrations, offering proximity to nature and a unique architectural backdrop, as well as for conferences and corporate events with ample space for professional development, team bonding, and productive meetings.

An entirely different activity—Oneness Nordic, featuring meditation, yoga, and courses—is conducted within the same temple complex. This means that two separate operations are taking place under the same roof.

Whether you want to gather the team for a weekend of in-depth strategic discussions or simply give your staff a break from the daily rush, this is a place that leaves a lasting impression. Dare to hold your meetings in an environment where the pace slows down and there is room for ideas to flourish.
