A modest town on central Zealand, Dianalund is home to Kolonien Filadelfia, Denmark's only specialist epilepsy hospital, founded in 1897 as a Christian welfare institution. The town's name likely derives from Diana, the Roman goddess of the hunt, which also gave its name to a local estate. A short distance south lies the village of Tersløse, where memorial rooms commemorate the Danish-Norwegian poet and author Ludvig Holberg (1684–1754). The town is served by a railway station on the Tølløse line.
