The medicinal plant garden in Bangsbo is located next to one of Denmark’s oldest barns, dating back to around 1580.
Here you will find a wide range of herbs that contain one or more active substances that were used with varying degrees of success in both folk medicine and in monasteries to relieve or cure illness. Some of these herbs are still used today for the production of medicines.
Many of the herbs were brought from the south by monks in the Middle Ages to their monastery gardens, and there are also Danish native herbs. There are signs at the various herbs that briefly explain their uses.
Please note that several of the herbs are poisonous.
We ask the public not to remove seeds and plants from the garden, and dogs must be kept on a leash.
