Villas in Pandrup

About Pandrup

Pandrup itself is a town of roughly 2,800 people in Jammerbugt Municipality, first mentioned in 1470. Our homes are not in it: their position falls on the coast at Rødhus, on the sandy shore of Jammerbugten, the bay whose name is translated as the Bay of Woe after its many shipwrecks. Rødhus Church, built in 1913, is nicknamed the Church at the end of the world and lit only by candles. Rødhus beach is open to cars, with a newsstand and café and a car park. Blokhus, a village of about 500 people, has a white sandy beach with dunes behind, and Fårup Sommerland, the first summer park in Scandinavia, lies north of Pandrup. The homes are close together, mostly sleeping six, with a fireplace in most, and few have a pool.

When to go to Pandrup

Summer is when Blokhus puts out its 47 white beach huts and a lifeguard watches the beach, and Fårup Sommerland is a summer park by design. Outside summer the coast is quieter, and with a fireplace in most homes a cold-weather stay works well for dune walks. Rødhus Church, lit only by candles, is worth a visit in any month. Check what is open before travelling in winter.
