Børglum

Børglum is a Danish village with a population below 200 (1 January 2011) in Hjørring municipality, Region Nordjylland (until December 31, 2006; Løkken-Vrå municipality, North Jutland County). Børglum was the site of a royal gård from at least 1000. This was later converted for use as a monastery, Børglum Abbey, which was developed from c. 1180 by the Premonstratensians. Some of the buildings still exist as a manor house. The abbey was also the seat, from about 1220 until 1536, of the Roman Catholic Bishopric of Børglum. A relatively unknown fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen is titled "The Bishop of Børglum and his Warriors".
