Reconnect with the quiet beauty of Friesland
Ajen is always seeking places where time slows down and nature takes the lead. One of these special finds is Suvelfabryk, a former dairy factory tucked away in the Frisian village of Ljussens. This striking building has been lovingly reimagined as a creative and conscious destination. With its blend of raw industrial heritage and open countryside, it’s a place where contrasts come together in harmony.

A new chapter for the old milk factory
The story behind Suvelfabryk is one of transformation. What was once a milk factory now houses inspiring accommodations with 13 apartments of different sizes to accommodate groups from 2 to 18 persons. The Suvelfabryk also houses event spaces designed for reflection, connection and creation. The owners embraced the character of the original building, keeping its bold structure intact while filling it with warmth, craftsmanship, and natural light. It’s a place that quietly encourages you to breathe more deeply, look more closely, and feel more grounded.
Let nature and creativity in
Suvelfabryk isn’t just about design. It’s about embracing the rhythms of nature. Guests are surrounded by fields, grazing cows and sheep and endless skies. The grounds are home to a natural garden and foraging area, where flora and food grow side by side. When you stay overnight in one of the beautifully styled rooms or visit an event, the experience is rooted in simplicity, sustainability, and slow living. Close to the Wadden Sea, there are also many active ways to connect with nature, such as wad hiking and sailing.
