Villas in Spøttrup

About Spøttrup

Spøttrup is a small village on Salling, the peninsula in north-west Jutland, close to Kås Bredning on the Limfjord. Its focus is Spøttrup Castle, which can be traced back to 1404, with ramparts and a double moat that served as a defence against cannon fire; it opened as a museum in 1941. The castle stands on the eastern shore of Spøttrup Lake, 2 km west of Rødding. The homes are spread across a handful of kilometres, mostly sleeping about six in three bedrooms; some are big enough for large groups, and many have a fireplace and some a sauna. Evenings are quiet.
