Nørre Vosborg - The manor house

Nørre Vosborg near Holstebro is a unique West Jutland manor house with 700 years of history behind it.

Hans Edward Nørregaard-Nielsen has with the following quote hit the distinctive atmosphere Nørre Vosborg exudes:

"Nørre Vosborg is the place where you can stretch your inner person out to full size". 

The tower catches the eye as the first thing when you approach the manor house, and marks that there is something unusual, magnificent and beautiful here in the middle of the windswept West Jutland landscape. The gate tower was built in 1790, while the main courtyard dates from the 1300th century.

In 2004, an extensive restoration and rebuilding of the manor was started. In April 2008, the doors to the beautiful renovated manor house were opened.

The newly restored Nørre Vosborg consists of the castle complex, which houses a number of manor rooms, a knight's hall, conference rooms and a restaurant, as well as the barn complex, which houses a multi - room with room for 300 seated guests, two large exhibition rooms and 56 hotel rooms.

During the restoration, great emphasis has been placed on preserving the external expression and everything has been done with a gentle hand. The goal is to make Nørre Vosborg a cultural powerhouse with its own hotel and restaurant. A meeting place where cultural life and business can get mutual inspiration. 

History:
The first written accounts of Nørre Vosborg are from the year 1299, where a manor house named Osborg is told. Us means estuary or outlet of water. The manor house Osborg was then located at the mouth of Gammel Å´ southwest of the current location and thus closer to Nissum Fjord. 

Over time, many different families have owned the mansion. Niels Bugge is the first owner to be reported. He was among the leading Jutlandic nobles and was killed in 1359.

During Niels Bugge's tenure, a warning was given of an impending storm surge. The warning is told in the story of "the man from the northwest wrapped in a blue cloak that will make the tower tilt". The storm surge came in 1530, after which the manor was moved to its present location. 

Over time, many great people have visited the manor house. Among other things. HC Andersen lived at the manor in 1859 from 5 to 20 July. Here "Stories from the dunes" were written and some of his famous paper clips cut. 

Experience the place where HC Andersen spent the night. Take a walk in the beautiful nature around the manor, where various hiking trails have been established. Dine in the restaurant in the north wing from the 1600th century and dream sweetly in one of the barn's rooms - all newly decorated with respect for the time that passed.
