The Tourist Attractions of Vejle:
Vejle is an historic city that was first mentioned in 1256 and was granted a municipal charter in 1327, but archaeological digs have revealed the area was inhabited even before this. Vejle grew because of its location on the Vejle Fjord, which today is one of the attractions of the town.
Historical Architecture in Vejle
There are a number of historical buildings remaining in Vejle including the oldest, St Nicolai Church, which dates back to the 13th century. When first built, the church was in the Romanesque style but during renovations in the 15th century it took on the more gothic look this it still has today. The church is one of the major landmarks in Vejle and has an interesting tourist attraction inside: the remains of the Haraldskaer Woman, an Iron Age woman who was preserved in a bog.
The Old Gunsmithy (Den Gamle Guldsmedie) is another historical landmark, situated in the centre of Vejle. It has a combination of brick and wood, giving this a very Tudor style of architecture. And there’s Vejle Old City Hall that dates from 1878.
Vejle Windmill
The best known historical landmark in Vejle is the Windmill. Situated on a hill overlooking the town, this windmill was constructed in 1890 following the destruction through fire of the original, built in 1847. It served as a mill right up until 1960 and still has some of the original machinery inside as well as an exhibition with furniture from the 1930s that tells the story of the mill. Vejle Windmill is a great place to come and enjoy the views over the town and the river valley.
