Sometimes the small churches are as interesting, and sometimes more so, than the larger churches in the large European cities, some of which tend to be a bit overrated. This little church is packed with history, and its origins date back to around the late 1300s and early 1400s. The great thing about Scandanavian churches is that many have their foundations dating at or within the first few hundred years of Christianity!
One photo does not do this church justice...I'll have about 5 or 6 good ones of the inside. Some of the pre-Reformation frescos have been restored, as well as an altar and a hanging ship (very Danish!) dating from the 1500s. The benches inside date from 1680 as well. More to come. Leave a Comment

The harbour boasts a classic tall ship, the history of which escapes me, but there are some restaurants and shops, but more importantly, fishing boats! Fishing boats give the harbour a bit more of an industrial feel, which makes you feel like you're in a real harbour!
More about the ship on my next visit! Leave a Comment

The town of Ebeltoft was chartered in 1301 by King Erik Menved. The municipal charter gave Ebeltoft the right to engage in trade and artisan work. It will celebrate its 700th birthday soon. The town itself is hundreds of years older than its official beginning, and for many years was very poor. Because the seamen and artisans that lived there had no money to build new houses, many of the town's buildings are patched rather than rebuilt and still look essentially as they did centuries ago.

A kro's limited capacity forces you to book early if you wanna stay overnight in this kind of arrangement. Leave a Comment

If you wanna stay and eat Danish style then Kro is for you. This would be an unique way of experiencing Denmark. An old Kro (Danish Inn) in the Ebeltoft old town. Leave a Comment

Many of the houses look as though they are ready to fall down, with their centers bowed out and their lines uneven. But all of them are functioning some way and regularly painted. Leave a Comment

Old books and other stuff are on display in the old town with their pricees on it. The butic itself is like a museum. Leave a Comment

Several of the oldest buildings are now restaurants and galleries, so they are open to the public. Ebeltoft has attracted a community of artists, especially those who work with glass. Here in the picture is an old bakery. Leave a Comment

Sign of a bakery. It is intended to give the impression that the bakery is operational for hundreds of years. Leave a Comment
