Hjørring - Half-Timbered Houses

There are still some 18th C. half-timbered houses to be found in the older quarters of Hjørring. These include the Provestgården (Presbytery), the Kobmand Riss' Gård, a listed building, and a magnificent merchant's dwelling, J. P. Jacobsens Gård. The Plejestiftelsen in Overgade is a finely proportioned building erected in 1858 as a poorhouse.
