The Gym
Hall was originally built as a space for Danish gymnastics, folk dancing, music and
theatrical performances, large social gatherings, and even worship before a church was
built. The congregation at Danebod Lutheran Church upholds the Danish tradition of
dancing around the Christmas tree each December, a magical memory held dear by every child
who has grown up at Danebod. The basement of the Gym Hall is commonly used for
crafts such as stained glass and woodworking.
