Tørning Mølle is one of the biggest cultural gems in Southern Jutland with the castle bank, where the former Tørning Borg was located, and from which kings and counts in the Middle Ages ruled over the land and kingdom. Here you will find:
Tørning Mill is probably an offshoot of mill operations on the site as far back as the Middle Ages, when Tørning Len was administered from the castle at Tørning Voldsted. The first secure information on the utilization of hydropower at the mill dates from 1494, when King Hans acquired the Tørning Mill. For more than 500 years, the enormous forces in the water that flowed through Tørning Å - now Stevning Dam - have been used down to Tørning and further east to the Little Belt.
In 1784, Hans Boysen bought mills from Grøngrøft, Tørning Mølle. His descendants, son, grandson and great-grandson, passed on the mill. The latter died childless in 1945, and until 1960 the heirs continued to run the mill.
The buildings were protected in 1980, and in 1982 Vojens Municipality bought the County Sheriff's residence, and the Danish Forest and Nature Agency bought the rest of the buildings and adjacent land. The mill has been burned several times - late in 1907, and there is a big difference between the mill from 1807 and the one we see today. Visit the mill and go up the many stairs, and get an impression of the mill's scope and function. In Herredsfogedens hus you will find a small exhibition about the area's history and the battles between the Danish kings and the German dukes.
