The estate history

The estate history

The estate, known as “Godset,” came into the ownership of the Kolstrup family in 1963 and served as a weekend and weekday retreat for the family who lived just three kilometers away in the village of Nors. Johan’s grandparents ran the medical practice in Nors for 43 years, making house calls day and night throughout the region. Because he visited people’s homes in and around Nors, Tved, and Hanstholm on a personal level, he became known as simply “doc” and to this day, we are fortunate to hear many funny and loving anecdotes from people who knew him or were children of those who did.
In 1989 Johan’s grandparents permanently moved to ‘ Godset’ at Hindingvej 41 to enjoy their retirement, making the place a peaceful, magical, and special spot for Johan, his brothers, and the rest of the family to visit.
After the passing of Johan’s grandparents the future of the place was left uncertain.
But during 2023, an idea took shape. Life in the city of Copenhagen seemed too trivial and hectic after all. Therefore, Viktoria and Johan took the leap, and in November of the same year, they bought the farm and moved to Thy, a region of Denmark.

Viktoria Hyldebrandt Falck-Schmidt

Born in Odense in 1993 as the youngest of four children to engineer jan falck-schmidt and yolo-mom kristina hyldebrandt, Viktoria grew up in Odense.

When the Royal Danish Ballet School opened a local branch, Viktoria became a student and eventually, at the young age of 12, passed the exam for further ballet education.

She moved to kongens nytorv as a ballet student at the Royal Danish Theater. Viktoria danced as a permanent corps de ballet dancer there for 12 years. however, something was brewing. the
demanding physical work and the fundamental worldview in the ballet world inspired her to explore new paths, and gradually, yoga and meditation took over her interest from ballet, opening up new horizons for Viktoria

Viktoria is now a well-experienced yoga teacher from teaching at Yostudios and private classes and events and teaches with experience from more than 1000 hours of instruction in the connection between body and soul. the spirit, breath, the human being as a whole and not a separated part of this universe.
