Løgum Palace, Medieval palace in Løgumkloster, Denmark.
Løgum Palace is a building in Løgumkloster constructed on the foundations of a former Cistercian monastery. The structure spans multiple floors with 17th-century architecture that blends former monastic elements with secular spaces.
Construction of this palace began in 1614 and marked a shift from religious to administrative functions in the region. The site had previously been home to a Cistercian monastery that had been significant until that time.
The building shows how power shifted from monastic hands to local rulers and how they shaped their new seat of authority. You can see this transition in the way secular spaces were arranged within the former monastery structures.
This building is located in Tønder Municipality and is accessible by car from larger cities. Guided visits can be arranged on site or through local tourism offices.
The interior spaces preserve original wooden beams and stone elements that date back to the 12th century. These old materials come from the time of the earlier monastery and remain visible today.
