the history of the world map

Once the water was gone, the rest was a breeze!

The creator of the World Map, Søren Poulsen, was born in 1888 in Denmark. After some time in America, he returned to his home region, where he took over his childhood home at Klejtrup Sø. When one day the surrounding meadows had to be watered, a stone appeared that was very reminiscent of Jutland. Then Søren Poulsen got the idea to build his own little world…

With primitive aids, 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 the World Map took shape…

The family behind the world map

The World Map is a family-owned attraction and has been since the beginning. The operation of the entire World has been passed down from generation to generation, from Søren Poulsen to now, when the World Map has been in the family for three generations.

In 1969, Søren Poulsen’s adventure ends. His nephew, Helge Poulsen and his wife Othilde Poulsen, took over his entire world and continued his life’s work and visions years after his death.

In 1998, they passed the baton on to their youngest daughter, Lisbeth Cassøe and her husband Flemming Cassøe, who continued to develop the attraction. In addition, they started the restaurant, which today is also successfully run at the attraction.

In these years, the 4th generation change is underway, as Lisbeth & Flemming’s youngest son, Søren Vejle-Cassoe, took over the family attraction in 2021 with his own visions and thoughts for the continuation of his family’s legacy.

family is an important word

FAMILY is an important word on the World Map. We want to create an attraction and park with space for all families – here the focus is on presence, experiences and joy.
We try, every single season, to create the feeling of presence and recognition of every single guest who visits us.
You can be sure to meet one of the family’s many happy faces every time you visit us. Whether it’s in the park, on the world map, in the kitchen or in the entrance hall to welcome you, the family will always be there to ensure that you have a fantastic day on the World Map.

All our exhibitions and activities are likewise made under a common slogan which is
FUN – PLAY – AND LEARNING. These words are our core, and ensure that everything we do creates presence, experiences, knowledge and lots of good laughs.
