Børglum - Premonstratensian Monastery

It is worth while visiting the Premonstratensian Monastery of Børglum, some 6 km/4mi to the east of Løkken. This dates from the 12th C. and until well into that century it was a Royal Court. Part of the building was converted about 1150 into a diocesan center. In the mid-18th C. the entire complex was restored by the Danish architect Laurids de Thura and converted to a Baroque mansion. Visitors can see the courtyard and the monastic church which was left unaltered and is a good example of Early Gothic. The church has some remarkable Roccoco furnishing.
