Villas in Ringkøbing

About Ringkøbing

Ringkøbing is a market town of about 9,800 on Ringkøbing Fjord, a shallow lagoon sheltered from the North Sea by the Holmsland Dunes. Its old streets mostly lead down to the fjord, and the church dates from the early 15th century, with a tower that is wider at the top than at the base. In the 17th century the channel to the sea began to move south with wind and tide, and the town was cut off from the sea until the early 20th century. Our homes are not in the town. Their middle sits at Søndervig, a seaside resort with a wide beach of fine sand, high dunes and a pedestrian street of shops and cafés, and they spread over about five kilometres there.
