Gammel Vraa
Gammel Vraa (1355 Wra, from Vrå 'Little Square', originally Vraa or Vrågård) is a former manor house that is now used as a hotel. It is located in a park in the forest between the fields about 16 km north of Aalborg . The mansion is surrounded by a moat with a bridge. The closest towns are Sulsted and Tylstrup , which are about 3–4 km from the castle.
Between 1600 and 1850 stately families lived in the manor house. In times of war it served as soldiers' quarters.
The two-story main building that is still preserved today was erected in 1645 and was owned by the heiress Ide Hansdatter Lindenov and her husband, the Danish Minister of Finance, Steen Beck . At that time, the largest area of land in Denmark belonged to Gammel Vraa. The couple also built the Ajstup church about 3 km to the east. The main building was expanded by two more wings in 1779.
Chris Hillingsøe converted Gammel Vraa into a hotel in 1977 and also built two towers. The hotel has a capacity of 43 double rooms as well as a ballroom and a restaurant in the basement.
