About Verdenskortet

Once the water was gone, the rest was a breeze!
The creator of Verdenskortet, Søren Poulsen, was born in 1888 in Denmark. After a time in America, he returned to his home region, where he took over his childhood home by Klejtrup Sø. When the surrounding meadows were drained one day, a stone that looked a lot like Jutland appeared. That’s when Søren Poulsen got the idea to build his own little world…
With primitive tools, large stones were moved out onto the ice in winter and placed where they were to be used. When spring came, the stones could be tilted into place, and slowly Verdenskortet took shape…

the family behind Verdenskortet
Verdenskortet is a family-owned attraction and has been from the beginning. The operation of the entire World has been passed down from generation to generation, from Søren Poulsen to now, where Verdenskortet has been in the family for 3 generations.
In 1969, Søren Poulsen’s adventure ends. His brother’s son, Helge Poulsen and his wife Othilde Poulsen, took over his entire world and continued his life’s work and visions in the years after his death.
In 1998, they passed the baton on to their youngest daughter, Lisbeth Cassøe and her husband Flemming Cassøe, who further developed the attraction. In addition, they initiated the restaurant, which is also run successfully at the attraction today.
In these years, the 4th generation change is underway, as Lisbeth & Flemming’s youngest son, Søren Vejle-Cassøe, took over the family attraction in 2021 with his own visions and ideas for continuing his family’s legacy.
