Nørholm Manor is completely unique to the area, with a history dating back to the time of Queen Margrethe I. The main building was constructed in 1776-80 by Andreas Charles Teilmann.
Today, Nørholm Manor is a modern enterprise offering rentals for hunting, fishing, housing, holiday homes, office facilities and large storage halls. 820 hectares of farmland, forest and heathland belong to the estate.
“Always undertake something for the benefit of your successor, and live as one who must move on from here tomorrow” - reads an inscription above the main entrance of the main building by Andreas Charles Teilmann. This obliges present and future owners!
In the mid-1950s, the outbuildings at Nørholm Manor burned down. Gerhard Tambour bought the stones, which were delivered to his property. They became the basis for a stone garden, which can still be found today in Tambours Have.
Several walking trails are marked in the forest and along the old course of the Varde River.
The Conjuring Stone stands in Nørholm Forest close to "Nørholmstien". The stone was presumably erected around 1830, when a priest who had been summoned from elsewhere performed the exorcism. The local pastor Daugaard in Thorstrup did not believe he was capable of the task himself. The Conjuring Stone was erected to lay the former owner of Nørholm to rest, as it was believed that he was haunting the place.
Nørholm Watermill is located west of the manor, beautifully situated by the Varde River, and is operated by Nørholm Manor with practical support from the Nørholm Watermill Guild, which was founded in 2008.
The mill has always been associated with the manor house, which in the Middle Ages was a fortified castle complex. Together with the castle, the mill is first mentioned in 1406.
