- travel back to the middle ages
A bike ride from Løkken takes you to Børglum Abbey – a place with deep historical roots and a central role in the medieval history of North Jutland. The abbey and its former residents hold an important place in the region’s history.
The exact date of the abbey’s foundation is unknown, but around the year 1060, a bishopric was established in Børglum. This suggests that a monastic community was already associated with the church at that time.
Today, Børglum Abbey is open to visitors and features both historical exhibitions and changing events that convey the long and complex history of the site. It is a rewarding destination for those interested in history as well as for anyone wishing to experience the abbey’s unique atmosphere.
You can learn more about Børglum Abbey on its website.
Note: According to local legend, the last Catholic bishop, Stygge Krumpen, still wanders the halls of the abbey – so visits are at your own risk…
