City hotel with wellness opportunities

Grand Hotel Struer is located in the heart of Struer, a fastly growing town during the mid to late 1800s. In 1895 Consul Schou thought that the time was right for a proper hotel, and it was he who built the hotel in Østergade, which quickly became the leading hotel in town. Originally it was named Schou s Hotel, but today the name is Grand Hotel Struer, and it has been carefully restored in a modern style.

However the Consuls name has in no way been forgotten because today Schous Brasserie & Bar facing the pedestrian street and the harbour is in the very same premises as Schou s restaurant from 1895. Furthermore, with a view to the fact that all railways led to or from Struer, it is in no way strange that one of the first courses of the menu is called Danmark Rundt (round about Denmark). It consists of ham from Skagen, sausage from Fanø, beer sticks from Bornholm and lamb from Venø. The menu also comprises a delicious regional course, namely North Sea codfish baked in the oven. 

Grand Hotel Struer is situated in the middle of Struer, which is a genuine Limfjord town and it is also a railway town. In the beginning a little harbour and a small trading centre were located here, but when the railway from Langå via Viborg and Skive got its terminal station in Struer in 1865, the development really started. As a matter of fact Struer became the largest railway junction in Denmark in the sense that there was no other town in Denmark in which such a large part of the population earned their living from the railways. The Danish State Railways gathered a large part of its Jutland administration in Struer, and the trains from Randers, Århus, Vejle, Esbjerg and the Thy railway ended here. The huge roundhouses in Struer could contain 31 large steam locomotives.

Information

Grand Hotel Struer has 70 rooms with bathroom, cable TV and internet. Banquet rooms and course facilities. It is located 50 meters from the Limfjord and the largest yachting harbour in the Limfjord. The hotel offers weekend stays with gastronomy, mini holidays, golf stays, cycling and hiking holidays. There is public parking right next to the hotel, the GPS address for parking is Smedegade 2, 7600 Struer.

The breakfast buffet, which is included in all stays and overnight stays, is served at the hotel.

Note: Schous Brasserie & Bar is closed on Sundays & Mondays.

    Struer Church

    Struer Church was consecrated 20 December 1891 and is situated beautifully high up over the houses of the city.

The choir decoration was made by the two artists Poul Høm and Lisbeth Munch-Petersen from Bornholm.

    The glass mosaic panes was made by glazier Hans Møller Sorth, Rø. 

    Struer Church has a carillon with 13 bells which plays tunes 3 times a day.  A work of art by Henrik Voldmester, Husby is placed at the northside of the church – the work of art is called “Skabelsens Port”.

    Venø

    6.95 km

    Venø - the heart of the Limfjord

    5 km north of Struer and 256 meters from the mainland lies Venø – the heart of the Limfjord. It was given this name, as the northern part of Venø is shaped like a heart when seen from the air.

    It only takes 2½ minutes to sail to Venø with the ferry and this island will impress you with nature, cultural experiences, and its friendly islander.

    Venø is a result from the ice ages’ glaciers and the stone ages’ burns. This is also the reason why Venø is part of the Unesco Geopark Vestjylland.


    In spite of its size Venø offers a beautiful and very diverse scenery. Green fields and brown moors, steep slopes and lovely forest areas.

    To the north is the bay area of Nørskov Vig with a rich and diverse bird life. This reservation is closed for public access from April 1st to July 15th.

    In addition to many songbirds, waders, and gulls there are lots of pheasants and hares. Venø also has a considerable population of deer.

    Hiking on Venø

    Venø is a perfect place to hike. Try for instance the hike ”Around Venø”, which is a 20 km hiking route in a beautiful landscape on the island Venø, in the middle of the Limfjord. You can take the whole try, or just parts of it. You can read more about this specific hike here: Hiking ’Around Venø’


    Venø Inn

    In the west of Venø, in areas of natural beauty - close to the Limfjord and only 5 km north of the ferry landing and 200 m north of the harbour lies Venø Kro (Inn). Venø is rich in nature, wildlife, and is home to Denmark's smallest church.

    Venø Kro is known for "Venøbøffer" (Venø steaks) and "Rulleål" (rolled eel). As well as shellfish from the local waters, and beef from cattle who grassed the north tip of Venø.

    In the recent years Venø have been cooperating with Venø seafood, ensuring the menu will always have freshly caught shellfish and live lobster in our tank in the restaurant.

    In our specialties you will find our amazing shellfish platter with oysters, lobster, mussels, and crab claws, all directly from Limfjorden.

    Welcome to a tractor museum with life and soul

     At Anders Poulsen’s, in Nørre Nissum in Lemvig, there has been built a large collection of vintage tractors throughout the last 20 years. Tractors, which all have been through a thorough restauration process, are presented shiny and impressive – almost like new. Spare parts and colours are pretty much all originals and every tractor is recreated with great respect of the originality, which leads the thoughts back through time.

    The large collection of tractors has, among others, well-known models from Ford, Ferguson, Lanz Bulldog, Bukh, John Deere, Volvo and Massey Harris. Even a David Brown tractor, which was built in England during World War II and originally designed to pull aircrafts of war, and Vestjyden, which is a Vety combine harvester and baling machine, which was designed and built in Lemvig in Denmark.

    Anders and his wife, Erna, have lived on the farm since 1961, where they for many years ran a farm with pigs. Now however, the animals have been traded in for the vintage tractors.

    Opening hours

    Every Wednesday from 2.00-5.00 p.m.

    In the summer period extra open from week 25: Monday 20 June up to and including week 34 Monday 22 August at 2-5 pm.

    The Old Town Hall

    14.66 km

    The Old Town Hall was built in 1846 after drawing of architect Nebelong. The stones from Nørre Vosborg Brickwork were sailed on horse-drawn barges up Storå. At the festive opening of the town hall a cannon was fired, but the unfortunate cannon exploded and the person responsible for the firing was killed.

    The building served as a property and a detention house. The building was consecrated in 1960 and is together with the Toll House - Bomhuset - and Nyboes Gaard the only protected buildings in Holstebro town.

    The decoration in the staircase was performed in 1957 by artist Albert Emiel - locally known as Albert Emil Christensen. The  Fresco paintings "Market Days in Holstebro" show scenes from life in Holstebro, where industry replaced agriculture as the main business.

    On each side of the entrance door you will see the two memorial plates received by Holstebro in 1966 and 1980 when the city was designated City of the Year. In addition, a memorial plate from 2006, when Holstebro was voted Denmark's Best Trade City, and a memorial plate from the Danish Cultural Heritage Agency.

    At the municipal assembly in 1970, the city council expanded from 15 to 21 members, and the number of seats in the City Hall was expanded. The city hall stands as when it was used until 1986, when the new town hall was taken into use.

    During summer in week 27 - 32 there are tourist information at the Old City Hall. It is also from here that the free guided tours on Wednesday at 1 pm in July and August start.
