Here at Kongensbro, where the road between Aarhus and Viborg crosses Gudenåen, there has been an inn since 1663, when Frederik III gave the diocesan official Ebbe Gyldenstierne the right to run an inn on the banks of Gudenåen. The current inn dates from 1949 and is today run by Christian Andersen. It was Christian Andersen's grandmother, Else Andersen, who together with her husband Hans Andersen founded the inn's tradition of good food. She published no less than 8 cookbooks with croissants and regional recipes and appeared in several TV shows. "Inn food is good food" was written on the front page of Else Andersen's first cookbook, and the fine gastronomic traditions are continued at Kongensbro Kro.

In the past, the inn was known as Pramdragerkroen, because back then Gudenåen was then the most important transport route through central Jutland. It took place on large barges, which were pulled by men and horses along the side of the river. Close to Kongensbro is preserved a so-called Swot Pejer, which is a black tarred oak pole that stood where the river swung. To prevent the barges from being pulled into the riverbank, you had to have a skewed pull, and you got that by putting the tow rope around the pole.

The inn is today a modern country inn with tastefully renovated rooms, all with a view of the beautiful inn garden and the river Gudenåen. All rooms have new comfort beds and 40 "LED flat screen TV with 20 free TV channels. It is also possible to arrange course stays and day courses at Kongensbro Kro.
