Inn and Museum Grønhøj Kro

The Potato Germans

In the inn's stable buildings there are, among other things, rebuilt a barn that originated from German colonists (kartoffeltyskerne) who came to the country in 1760 and made the potato an attractive food in Denmark.

The "Kartoffeltyskerladen" stood about 100 meters from where it was rebuilt today during its first few years. After a few years, the owner decided to move his farm to a place where he had more land. Thus, it became one of the so-called "outlying farms". Today, there are still areas named after several outlying farms, such as "Tohuse", "Trehuse", "Firhuse".

German Memorials and Exhibitions

You can also delve into exhibitions about the nearby German church Frederiks Kirken, Fliegerhost Grove (Karup Air Station), the German refugee cemeteries in Kølvrå and Grove Kirke, as well as the memorial for seven crew members on a crashed Lancaster plane in 1942.
