Christiansfeld

Travel Guide
Be inspired by the town's UNESCO architecture, enjoy some famous Christiansfeld gingerbread and visit the Christerino Nature Reserve.

It was not without merit that Christiansfeld gained recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, especially considering the very unique history of the town. It was named after King Christian VII and was built by members of the Moravian Church (or Herrnhuters, as they are also known) between 1773 and 1812. The painstakingly renovated buildings preserve this unique cultural heritage to the letter. The town's past is what gives Christiansfeld such a unique charm and fantastic atmosphere, and history truly does seem to greet you on every corner:The Brodremenighedens Hotel ("Moravian Hotel") is where the ceasefire agreement between Denmark and Prussia was signed back in 1864, while the Reunification Place is a memorial to Southern Jutland's reunification with Denmark in 1920, following 56 years under German control. A guided tour with a local expert from the Christiansfeld Centre is a great way to uncover even more of the town's many hidden gems. Be sure to experience this unique slice of Danish history when you travel to Christiansfeld.

With that said, it's worth noting that the town does of course offer a lot more than history! Each summer it hosts the renowned Christiansfeld Wine Festival, where wine connoisseurs from far and wide flock to Christiansfeld for the weekend. Outside the summer season, Donslund Wines offers a broad selection of wine and whisky to enthusiasts, while the town's cosy cafés make for a perfect place to chill out and enjoy some pleasant conversation. If you have a sweet tooth, be sure to enjoy some famous Christiansfeld gingerbread at the Gingerbread House or the Moravian Gingerbread Bakery. In these spots you'll be able to experience a rich baking tradition that traces its origins back to the early days of the town's history.

Fascinating encounters with local wildlife await you at the protected Christerino nature reserve, which was founded by a local chamberlain in the 18th century, and still retains many of the original, grandiose buildings from that era. So grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a leisurely stroll through the verdant forest. The Gudsageren Cemetery ("God's Pasture") in the north of the town is not exactly your typical graveyard. That's because the cemetery was built in accordance with Moravian principles - the friars and sisters of the order all lie side-by-side, and all of the gravestones are identical, surrounded by lime trees and pristine landscaping.

During your stay in Christiansfeld in Southern Jutland, you'll experience a unique atmosphere characterised by inspirational UNESCO World Heritage buildings, scrumptious culinary traditions, and serene, peaceful surroundings that offer a healthy mix of culture and tranquillity.

Good stay
"Great little hotel in a really nice location. Stayed for one night as we were just passing through, but the room was large and comfortable, staff were great and food was excellent. We were on a fully loaded up motorbike so the big cobbles in the car park raised the pulse slightly, but thankfully ..."
