In the oldest barn in Denmark you find the best WW2 museum in Denmark from a Danish perspective on the occupation and resistance that followed. Authentic memorabilia combined with great story telling and nicely laid out exhibits make this museum a must see for anyone interested in WW2. You can also get close to and old Viking ship and see the old manor Bangsbo. The gardens are suberbly laid out too and in the adjacent field and forest you can see many deers. Highly recommend!

If you're the least interested in paintings or the life of artists, do go here. The house of Anna and Michael Ancher is crammed with paintings, atmosphere and so many stories.

You will find the Monastery in the city center of Aalborg. A peaceful little spot in the vibrant down town area. During the summer period public tours are arranged where you get to see special parts of the monastery. Today, there is 28 apartments for senior citizens in the building which makes the monastery the oldest residence in Aalborg. The Monastery of the Holy Ghost was located at the city's western border in 1431. Today that exact spot is now down town Aalborg which says something about the huge transformation the city has gone through during the years. The building has also been used as a latin school and hospital during its time. The Monastery of the Holy Ghost provided help Aalborg was in the 400s a city in development. The inevitable pressure a growing population brings along, also brought the need for a religious and christian institution in the area. A place where people who were less fortuned could come and seek help and comfort. With help from a generous and kind woman of Aalborg, named Maren Hemmings, the foundation for the monastery was established in 1431. The Monastery's good intentions and care for others, also helped a group of young men a night before Christmas back in 1941. The young men were from the Churchill group, Denmarks first resistance movement during World War 2, and were given shelter in the monastery. Ghosts still walk the halls The tale tells stories of ghosts walking the halls of the monasterey. Not one but two is said to still be walking the halls at night. One is a lady, who after a traumatic relationship with a wealthy man, were walled in, inside the walls of the basement. The other one is a man, who restlessly walks the halls during New Years Eve.
