About Aabybro
These homes are close together near Gjøl, one of the larger villages of the former Aabybro municipality on the Limfjord. Gjøl is a town of about 900 people, stretched along the edge of a glacial moraine. Gjøl was an island until the early 1900s; dams built from the First World War onwards joined it to the mainland, one of them linking it to Øland. The shallow water west of the ridge, Gjøl Bredning, is a wildlife preserve. The harbour pairs an older fishing village with a modern marina, café and playground. Gjøl Church dates from about 1150 and has choir frescoes from the 1530s. The homes have two bedrooms and sleep four to six, and several have a fireplace.
