Experience Tønder and the beautiful nature by the Wadden Sea

In the southern Jutland marshland by Vadehavet National Park, Hotel Tønderhus is centrally located in the town of Tønder, and just 5 km from the German border. The hotel is therefore a perfect base for exploring the exciting history of the legendary border country. The rugged nature with the fantastic flora and fauna of the marshland and the Wadden Sea is an experience in a class of its own, especially when there is Black Sun with tens of thousands of starlings, settling down for the night.

In other words, the hotel is the place if you need a respite from the complexity and stress of an everyday life. From the moment you step through the door, you will be pampered, and the hotel creates the perfect setting for you who want to enjoy the twosome or the company of friends and family in combination with the breathtaking nature, where there is high to the sky and the Wadden Sea, as far the eye can see.

Hotel Tønderhus has its own restaurant, and here the house's professional chefs and waiters do not compromise on quality. Well-being is served here with a twinkle in the eye, and the kitchen uses only the best ingredients, which are tailored to the season and the local area's offerings. Lunch can e.g., be a shooting star, a Parisian steak or a South Jutland omelet, and on the evening menu you will find, for example, North Sea plaice and Tournedos of Danish heifer.

Tønder was granted Lybian city rights as early as 1243, and it is thus the country's oldest market town. Originally, the city had a harbor and direct access to the sea, but it stopped with the dike construction west of the city in the 1550s. In return, the city and its guests can enjoy the many beautiful and well-preserved gabled houses from the 17th and 18th centuries, where the city experienced an increasing popularity due to the extensive lace industry.

In the hotel's atmospheric rooms, it is possible to host both large and small parties, weddings, christenings, receptions and conferences.

Hotel Tønderhus has 62 rooms, all with bathroom, hairdryer, trouser press, minibar, radio / TV and wireless internet. It is also possible to play billiards at the hotel. It is possible to park for free in the hotel's own car park, as well as the public car park next to the hotel, where charging stations have also been installed.

    Amtmandspalæet - Tønder

    0.04 km

    The most distinguished house in Tønder. As chief administrative officer of Tønder County, Count U.A. Ulstein built this Rococco-Classical palace in 1767, designed by the the architect of Odd Fellow-Palaeet in Copenhagen, J.G. Rosenberg.

    It is a beautiful mansion in the Louis Seize style built according to drawings by architects J. G. Rosenberg and N. H. Jardin. The front side facing Jomfrustien and the back side facing the garden are almost exactly the same with windows, door, stairs and frontispiece.

    The side facing Jomfrustien differs, however, in that above the main door there is a sandstone with a relief of a vase framed in a clam, and in that at the top of the frontispiece there is a sandstone decoration, with a medallion with a woman's head in profile surrounded by two garlands . The mansion has been completely unchanged since 1768, but underwent extensive restoration in 1950, and was then listed.


    Today the building is used by the Danish chimney sweepers' association.

    Uldgade - Tønder

    0.16 km

    Uldgade is probably the most picturesque street of all the beautiful streets and alleys of Tønder. The street is paved with cobblestone, and the gable of the houses with the funny bay windows face the street. The reason for this was that the plots of land were long and narrow. Normally, the entrance and the living room faced the street, whereas the best and finest parlour faced the yard.

    The artisans and people of humle means lived in Uldgade and the other streets of the town, whereas the important merchants had their far larger houses along the main street Storegade. Many of these fine houses were equipped with grand portals above the ingeniously ornamented doors.

    The House of Mayor Richtsen

    0.24 km

    The house was built in 1777 by the rich lace merchant and mayor Carsten Richtsen.

    Large 2-storey baroque building with large bay windows and a beautiful sandstone portal with Rococo ornaments and doors. Probably the city's most beautiful house.

    The house is not only geographically located in the border country, but is also architecturally a hybrid composed of several different styles and influences. As a testimony to the cultural and architectural development of Southern Denmark, it is not only of regional but also of national importance and as such indispensable to the Danish cultural heritage.

    0.28 km

    Drøhses house reopens on 22 March 2024!!

    Drøhse's house was built in 1672 by county clerk Friedrich Jürgensen. The gable house was built in the middle of the main street in Tønder.

    The house is named after bookseller F.W.E Drøhse, who bought it in 1859.

    The interior follows West Schleswig building custom with a hallway, the "dielen", which runs through the entire house on the ground floor, a bay window room, "æ dørns", facing the main street, and the fine living room, the "piselen", facing the garden side. The house is furnished with older furniture and paintings.

    The old kitchen with fireplace has been preserved, and if you take a walk in the basement, you can see an exhibition about architecture in Tønder, a city model and a collection of iron stoves. In the "piselen" and on the first floor there are usually lace exhibitions.

    The house's 2nd floor with the impressive ceiling construction is designed as a study hall, where, among other things, are taught lacemaking.

  • Kagmanden - Tønder

    0.34 km

    As late as in the 19th century the whipping post was of great importance in the urban life of many towns in Northern Europe. The post was placed on a brick-built rise, and chained to it the offenders were whipped by the executioner. Simultaneously the victim lost his civil rights and had to leave the municipality.

    Minor violations of the law often led to public whippings. In 1813 a shoemaker's apprentice was caught in stealing apples. He was sentenced to public whipping and to be put in stocks. But on this occasion justice was tempered with mercy. The judgment was reversed. The apprentice was sentenced to three days' imprisonment and put on bread and water. So he was allowed to serve his apprenticeship. It turned out differently for a young girl who in 1865 had committed a minor theft.

    She was whipped and put in stocks and was expelled from the municipality. As a reminder to observe the law a statue carved out of wood was often placed on the top of the whipping post, a so called 'whipping post - man'. Toender got its last 'whipping post -man' in 1699. 8 men and 6 horses dragged a log of oak up to town, and the wood-carver carved a soldier-like figure.It is unknown how many years the figure was placed in the market place.

    Today the original figure - the only remaining whipping post figure in Denmark - is exhibited at Toender museum - a valuable souvenir of the legal system in the past.
