Lønborggård, Manor house in Ringkøbing-Skjern Municipality, Denmark.
Lønborggård is a manor house located where the Skjern River meets Ringkøbing Fjord, with its main building constructed in 1838-1839. The complex includes several structures typical of a large agricultural estate from this period, and it now operates as a holiday center.
The property developed from a combination of bishop's land and royal holdings, and it survived the Reformation era around 1536. It maintained its role over centuries before being acquired by investors in 2009 for renovation.
The estate reflects the way a Danish farming family lived and worked, with 1930s photographs showing daily life among the buildings and fields. These images reveal how people were connected to the land and the rhythms of agricultural life.
The property is now accessible as a holiday center where visitors can explore the renovated buildings and the surrounding riverside and fjord location. It works well for day trips or longer stays in a rural setting.
Local tradition speaks of three spirits said to inhabit the place: a maid who died of a broken heart, a German girl, and an elderly servant carrying a silver-topped cane. These stories remain part of the local folklore passed down through generations.
