laid out as a garden, whether it has been as an herb garden with cabbage and spices, or sections with medicinal herbs, fruit trees and decorative flowers.\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-107 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nThe gardens around Bangsbo have always been there and reflected the interest in gardens of the time, and in the 19th century Bangsbo was the idyllic place to which future poets made a pilgrimage to experience peace and tranquility. The gardens at Bangsbo have always undergone changes depending on which owner was in charge and which style was popular at the time.\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-108 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nThe first real garden plan dates from 1812, and the garden is presented in a Renaissance-like layout with a central axis that runs slightly askew on the main building. In 1891, editor Johan Knudsen Bangsbo took over, and he set about cleaning up with a greater or lesser sense of reverence for the place and its history. The central aisle disappeared, and winding paths emerged around a stone mound to the south, and a pavilion to the north, while a white wooden bridge over the moat, based on drawings by Bindesb\u00f8ll, connected the courtyard and the park.\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-109 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nAfter World War II, Frederikshavn Municipality became the owner of the manor and the adjacent areas, which now house the Bangsbo Botanical Garden.\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-110 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nThe idea to create a botanical garden around Bangsbo was originally fostered by three garden-interested citizens who thought that the garden around the manor deserved to be more than just a lawn and some beds with seedlings.\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-111 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nFrederikshavn Municipality was presented with the concept at a municipal planning meeting and found the idea to be good, and this was the starting point for Bangsbo Botanical Garden, Frederikshavn.\n<\/p><\/div><figure class=\"bde-f-container-418-115 bde-f-container bbh-hist-figure\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bde-f-image-418-113 bde-f-image bbh-hist-img\" src=\"https:\/\/bangsbobotaniskehave.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/De-tre-sk\u00f8re-der-startede-det-hele-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"De tre haveinteresserede borgere, der fik id\u00e9en til Bangsbo Botaniske Have\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption class=\"bde-f-text-418-114 bde-f-text bbh-caption\">\nThe three crazy people who started it all\n<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div><\/section><section class=\"bde-f-container-418-125 bde-f-container bbh-page-section-alt\"><div class=\"bde-f-container-418-124 bde-f-container bbh-hist-video\"><div class=\"bde-f-container-418-122 bde-f-container bbh-prose\"><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-118 bde-f-text bbh-eyebrow\">\nThe independent institution\n<\/p><h2 class=\"bde-f-text-418-119 bde-f-text bbh-h2\">\nFrom idea to botanical garden\n<\/h2><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-120 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nOn November 29, 1988, the independent institution Bangsbo Botanical Garden was founded, with the clear purpose of returning the park around Bangsbo Manor to its former floral splendor, and the adjacent areas to a botanical garden for the enjoyment of the city&#039;s citizens and its tourists, but also as an excursion destination for schools and educational institutions.\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-121 bde-f-text bbh-body\">\nThe plans for the areas were prepared by landscape architect Frans Ameys from Aalborg, and Frederikshavn City Council approved the local plan for the area on Monday, August 23, 2004.\n<\/p><\/div><video class=\"bde-f-container-418-123 bde-f-container bbh-hist-player\" src=\"https:\/\/bangsbobotaniskehave.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/historien.mp4\" poster=\"https:\/\/bangsbobotaniskehave.dk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Blomstrende-park-1536x1024.jpg\" controls=\"\" preload=\"none\" playsinline=\"\" aria-label=\"Film about the history of Bangsbo Botanical Gardens\"><\/video><\/div><\/section><section class=\"bde-f-container-418-154 bde-f-container bbh-page-section\"><div class=\"bde-f-container-418-128 bde-f-container bbh-section-intro\"><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-126 bde-f-text bbh-eyebrow\">\nTimeline\n<\/p><h2 class=\"bde-f-text-418-127 bde-f-text bbh-h2\">\nThe garden&#039;s history in years\n<\/h2><\/div><ol class=\"bde-f-container-418-153 bde-f-container bbh-timeline\"><li class=\"bde-f-container-418-131 bde-f-container bbh-timeline-item\"><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-129 bde-f-text bbh-timeline-year\">\n15th century\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-130 bde-f-text bbh-timeline-text\">\nIn Bangsbo&#039;s heyday, the area around the manor was laid out as an herb farm with cabbage, spices, medicinal herbs and fruit trees.\n<\/p><\/li><li class=\"bde-f-container-418-134 bde-f-container bbh-timeline-item\"><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-132 bde-f-text bbh-timeline-year\">\n1812\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-133 bde-f-text bbh-timeline-text\">\nThe first real garden plan: a Renaissance-like structure with a central axis.\n<\/p><\/li><li class=\"bde-f-container-418-137 bde-f-container bbh-timeline-item\"><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-135 bde-f-text bbh-timeline-year\">\n1891\n<\/p><p class=\"bde-f-text-418-136 bde-f-text bbh-timeline-text\">\nEditor Johan Knudsen takes over Bangsbo.
