Herningsholm Museum

Herningsholm Museum is located in Herning’s oldest building from 1579. At the old manor you can explore life on the heath and the role it played in the textile industry, which later came to characterise the area. At Herningsholm Museum you can get close to the author Steen Steensen Blicher, experience the evocative paintings of the heath painters or study the manor’s beautiful rooms and old murals up close. But you can also experience the story of a manor, that went from housing a small army and guns to creating a large business based on sheep and woolen socks – and which became the start of the textile industry in Central Jutland.
