Cultural history

The area’s cultural history goes back a long way and there are still visible traces of the past.
The oldest is the Hagenør castle hill upon which a castle once lay. King Christian II stayed here when the nobility and Sweden rebelled against him in 1523.  
The castle was ruined during the civil war The Count’s Feud (1534-36) and was never rebuilt.

Along the trail, you will pass the old restored farms Hagenør- and Vindmøllegård.

For nearly a hundred years from 1880s-1960s, there was a small tile factory in the area. The clayey soil provided good conditions for tile production. The two small lakes by the old factory are former clay pits.
