Sightseeing in Silkeborg - what to see. Complete travel guide

Tourists, who come to the city, are offered to try a large choice of activities including water sports, golf, riding rented bicycles and small motorcycles, or just walking in the city’s suburbs. Among the main attractions of Silkeborg the most significant are Museum of Art, which exhibits a collection of works of the great artist Asger Jorn; Silkeborg museum, which exhibits two ancient human bodies - a female one, preserved from 210 BC, and a male 2200-yearold body famous as Man of Tollunda. Here you will also find a special exhibit of old Danish glass, ancient jewelry and artifacts from the ruins of Silkeborg Castle, a collection of stone tools, as well as the most tremendous freshwater aquarium in Northern Europe.
Silkeborg is a fairly young city. Its founder was Michael Durson, who based a small paper mill in a forest at the end of the 19th century. Over time, a village grew up around the factory and turned into a large prosperous city later. Nowadays, Silkeborg is proud of its high-class dealerships. Headquarters of large companies and some financial institutions are located in the city.

Numerous religious sites built at the founding of the city remained safe. An excellent example is an ancient Silkeborg Kirke. They used red brick for the construction of the church. A tiled roof of emerald color makes an original contrast to its strict walls. Massive wooden doors, beautiful antique furniture, chandeliers and other elements of pristine design preserved there.
