Vendsyssel, Historical administrative district in North Jutlandic Island, Denmark.

Located at the northernmost part of Jutland, Vendsyssel covers 4,685 square kilometers and includes cities like Hjørring, Frederikshavn, and Skagen.

In 1825, a severe storm separated the North Jutlandic Island from mainland Jutland, creating a water channel between the North Sea and Limfjord.

The Vendsyssel Festival stands as Scandinavia's largest classical music gathering, drawing musicians and audiences during summer months.

The region maintains connections through the E39 and E45 highways, railroad services, and maritime routes linking Denmark with Norway and Sweden.

The district name derives from the Germanic Vandal tribe combined with 'syssel', reflecting its ancient administrative designation.
