Lemvig Attractions

On the south shore of the Nissum Bredning, a lagoon at the south end of the Limfjord, lies Lemvig, a pretty town in a hilly area. The church, with an onion tower of 1936, has a Roccoco interior. The Lemvig Museum (Vesterhus) contains items associated with the history of life-saving at sea and also pictures of stranded ships, a weaving-room and a goldsmith's workshop. Particularly interesting is the study used by the writer Thøger Larsen (1875-1928), complete with many of his books; in the garden there is a bust of the author by Thorvald Vestergaard (1958).

With expanses of woodland, moor and heath as well as sand-dunes on the west coast, the surroundings of Lemvig are a veritable paradise for nature-lovers and many rare waterfowl can be observed. 12 km/7 mi west of the town a steep cliff, the 43m/141ft high Bovbjerg Klint, borders the sea.
