Timeline Rønhave

The farm dates back to 1315. Over time, both dukes and kings have owned Rønhave.

The main building, as it stands today, was rebuilt in 1865 after it was set on fire during the war of 1864. On June 29, 1864, the German soldiers came across Alssund in the dead of night. This part of the war took place on large parts of what was then Rønhave's fields and forests.

The story of Rønhave

De røde vinduer

When Southern Jutland again became part of Denmark in 1920, Rønhave came back under the Danish state. 

On April 18, 1924, the Dannebrog was raised again at Rønhave in a small ceremony. The hinges on the gates and doors were painted red to show that the farm was once again Danish after almost 60 years under German ownership.

The stories are hung up all around the farmhouse, take a look inside and get the rest of the story.
