A little more about the hotel...
“The one who hasn't visited Ribe, slept one night at "Hotel Dagmar" and heard the neighborhood bells from the cathedral, don't know Denmark..." Thus once wrote the famous journalist and author Andreas Vinding. And many agree with him. "Hotel Dagmar" - with the 900-year-old cathedral as a relic and with its red walls and red tiled roof, is also considered a historical attraction in Denmark's oldest city.
The original house on Torvet was destroyed by fire in 1580, but councilor - and later mayor - Laurids Thøgersen had a new stately farm built in 1581. After being owned by the wealthy Baggesen family, the house was from approx. 1700 housing for Ribes changing presidents, a kind of lord mayors that the city could boast of for approx. 100 years of its heyday. The first president of the house here was Carsten Worm, grandson of the famous Ole Worm. Upon Peter Ussing's death in 1788, the office of president was abolished, and from around 1800 it became an inn under the name "Greisens Hotel" or "Gæstgivergården".
The name "Hotel Dagmar" did not appear until 1912 in connection with a major renovation. Subsequent renovations have been made over the years with gentle care and respect for the more than 425 year old house and its genuine environment.
Da Tage Th. Pedersen bought the hotel in 1956, he decided that the hotel should function as a first class hotel, now that the exciting environment was present. Leif G. Petersen and his wife Lene, who took over in the late nineties, have followed in the footsteps of the father. They also take great pride in the fact that necessary renovations are done with gentle hand and respect for the old house.
