History
Børglum was the site of a royal gård from at least 1000. This was later converted for use as a monastery, Børglum Abbey, which was developed from c. 1180 by the Premonstratensians. Some of the buildings still exist as a manor house[1]. The abbey was also the seat, from about 1220 until 1536, of the Roman Catholic Bishopric of Børglum.
A relatively unknown tale by Hans Christian Andersen is titled "The Bishop of Børglum and His Kinsmen"[2].
