Enjoy Christmas in historic surroundings
Bring the family to the traditional Christmas market at Børglum Kloster in North Jutland. Discover festively decorated rooms, more than 30 different stalls and a welcoming Christmas atmosphere for all ages.
Christmas is the only time of year when we open the monastery’s private rooms to visitors. Explore rooms decorated with Danish Christmas hearts, greenery, nativity scenes and Christmas elves, and enjoy the special atmosphere of these historic surroundings.
This year, we are adding an extra Christmas market weekend on 19–20 December, giving you the chance to visit right up until the final days before Christmas.
Explore more than 30 stalls
Browse more than 30 different stalls offering art, crafts, Christmas decorations and local delicacies. Find thoughtful Christmas gifts, meet the stallholders and gather inspiration for your own celebrations at home.
You will find stalls indoors in the Yellow Barn (Den Gule Stald) and the Red Barn (Den Røde Stald), as well as outdoors in the monastery courtyard. Take a break along the way and enjoy your food in the renovated stable.
Evening Christmas market on 24 November
On Tuesday 24 November, we will be open from 16:00 to 20:00. Experience the monastery as darkness falls and the Christmas lights come on. Bring family and friends for an atmospheric evening of Christmas shopping and a stroll through the festively decorated rooms.
Festive food at Café Vognporten
At Café Vognporten, you can enjoy traditional Christmas dishes and warm up with a glass of gløgg, Scandinavian mulled wine. Brunch and the evening buffet must be booked in advance directly with the café.

Arrival and parking
Free parking is available in our two large car parks:
On market days when we open at 10:00, the busiest period is usually between 13:00 and 16:00. During these hours, there may be queues at the entrance and limited parking availability.
We therefore recommend arriving before 13:00, particularly if you are travelling from further afield, as it is usually quieter then.
