Brønderslev is a modern town with a special story and lots of things to offer. You can go shop in one of the many stores, taste ‘Vendsyssel’ at one of the many restaurants, visit the beautiful Rhododendronpark and much more.
Brønderslev is perhaps best known for the Rhododendron Park - the largest of its kind in Northern Europe - where thousands of flowers create a colorful sight in spring. The town also has a vibrant shopping street, charming cafés and an exciting cultural history.
A sea of colors in the heart of Brønderslev
The town's unique characteristic and trademark is Hedelund Rhododendron Park, commonly known as the Rhododendron Park, which with more than 10,000 plants is the largest of its kind in Northern Europe. In May and June, you can experience an orgy of colors and scents when more than 130 varieties are in full bloom.
The park was built in 1994 in an existing park from 1890, so today you can relax under 100-year-old beech trees. You can enjoy your coffee or picnic basket while watching the large lake with its white bridges and the many ducks and swans that create an idyllic atmosphere.

Shopping in Brønderslev
A small pedestrian area near Banegårdspladsen forms the center of Brønderslev. From here, Søndergade, Vestergade, Nørregade, Østergade and the main street Bredgade, which connects the old Romanesque church with the new church from 1922, spread out.
If you're interested in church culture, both Brønderslev New and Old Church are worth a visit. The latter was built in 1150 from granite blocks and has a Renaissance-style altarpiece and pulpit from around 1600. North of the church is a distinctive forest cemetery that is unique in Denmark.
