Haderslev

Haderslev is a town in South Jutland, Denmark. It is situated deep in an East Jutland fjord on the Baltic coast, and emerged in the 1100s as a trading post.

Understand
Haderslev was a prolific trading port for centuries and became a regional religious center in medieval times with its old cathedral dating back to the 1200s.

Today, Haderslev is a regional center for the Danish military and State administration, both very important local employers. Trade and industry is in decline, but agriculture and related food industry is still an important employer though; the two local estates of Nybøl and Gram Castle are major agricultural producers from the town's large hinterland.
