+5 attractions

Vestervig is a town on the North Sea, whose characteristic building is a Romanesque church, which is a remnant of an abbey founded in the 11th century. The charming village of Agger with traditional black houses and a fishing port is nearby.

The town is situated between the sea and coastal lagoons. It is surrounded by dunes covered with grass and low shrubs. It is close from here to quiet, sandy beaches, which are a good place for walks or rest on warm summer days.

The history of Vestervig is connected with the abbey that has existed here since the mid-11th century. It is one of the oldest monastic centers in Jutland. To this day, a Romanesque church has survived, which served as a cathedral until the mid-12th century.

The main attractions of Vestervig are concentrated in the village of Agger, on the seashore. There is the bustling port of Agger, where fishing boats are moored. You can also see a fully equipped historic fisherman's hut. There are also black houses in the village, which owe their color to appropriate impregnation and the action of salty sea winds.

The beaches around Agger are sandy and wide. Although the sea can be very turbulent here, in the summer you can meet sunbathers. Lovers of water sports come here, as well as lovers of rest in the bosom of nature, away from the hustle and bustle of large cities.
