History

Mariager is known as the "city of roses" – a town with idyllic, cobbled streets and beautiful half-timbered
buildings with roses climbing up their crooked facades. A walk around the town gives you a sense of peace and tranquillity.

With its old abbey and the charm of its past borough era, you cannot fail to be moved by the cosy atmosphere and the ambience of bygone times.
