## Facilities

In 2010, Horslunde was named "Village of the Year" by the National Association of Villages in Denmark.[3][4] The jury emphasized that through popular commitment and community involvement, the town had managed to preserve a number of both public and private services. These include a [daycare](/source/Daycare), [kindergarten](/source/Kindergarten), elementary school, [private school](/source/Private_school), youth club, sports hall, library, elderly center, bus terminal, music school, medical school, a pharmacy, post office, grocery shop, [filling station](/source/Filling_station), and bakery.

The town upholds traditions such as [shrovetide](/source/Shrovetide), [midsummer](/source/Midsummer), [harvest festivals](/source/Harvest_festival), and [Christmas trees](/source/Christmas_tree), but has also created a new initiative it calls "Horslunde as an energy village",[5] through which local craftsmen have carried out energy-saving work worth almost 8 million [DKK](/source/Danish_krone), with support from [Realdania](/source/Realdania) and the state's initiative fund,[6] as well as installing solar cells in the fields adjacent to the town.[7]

The Nordvestskolen public school has a branch in Horslunde with 275 pupils in grades 0-9, as well as the Ravnekrogen after-school care centre. The town also previously featured Horslunde [Realskole](/source/Realskole), a private school which taught pupils in grades 0-9. In January 2024, it was announced that the school would close in March,[8] however, that same month the school declared [bankruptcy](/source/Bankruptcy) and closed with immediate effect.[9]
