Villas in Skærbæk

About Skærbæk

Skærbæk is a town of just over 3,000 people in Tønder Municipality, with a station on the Bramming-Tønder line and a church first mentioned in 1292. It is a base set back from the coast: Havneby on Rømø is 24 km away, Ribe 22 km and Tønder 26 km. Ribe is the oldest town in Denmark, and its cathedral was begun in 1150. The homes are spread through and around the town, mostly with three bedrooms, with a fireplace in a few and no pool or sauna. Evenings are those of a small town, so plan to drive to Ribe or Tønder for more.
