The former town hall in the Jutlandic town of Ebeltoft
now one of the most popular sites for civil marriages in Denmark
especially in the summer months there is a great bustle,
on saturdays there is often actually chaos in front of the old building.
…..
An idyllic evening atmosphere with a downward sun from the west side
the narrow streets and alleys in the city center attracts many tourists
both danish and foreign tourists
the summer is swedish, norwegian, dutch and german
almost as common as the danish language.
The city’s name Ebeltoft (old danish word for apple field)
dates back to the area’s many apple orchards, which used to be in the past.
…..
The pride of the city pride the historic frigate “Jylland” now a popular museum attraction
in a dry dock at the harbor – after a total renovation back to the original style anno 1880
by skilled craftsmen with excellent attention to old ways of working – *link*.

Ebeltoft used to be/ is the nordic Gretna Green, isn’t that so? I know a few international couples that went to Ebeltoft to get married, it was lot less complicated than in Germany.

A picture perfect town 🙂 That ship looks gorgeous.

It’s not a very big city, but a “great” town with a lot of atmosphere… 🙂
The ship did not have a particularly long active “career” as a Danish warship – but is seen as one of the symbol of danish history – and well built, superb craftsmanship… 🙂
As I scrolled down your blog I recognized Ebeltoft right away – I have a photo of me and friends standing on the steps of this old town hall.

I have visit Ebeltoft a lot of times, I believe it’s first time there wasn’t “chaos” in front of the old town hall… 😉
