Svaneke awarded for its excellent preservation work

Svaneke is known as Denmark's most beautiful market town

The beach in Svaneke is called Hullehavn

Østersøen Holiday Apartments lies right by Svaneke Harbour
Svaneke is one of the few towns in Europe, which has been awarded the European Council’s gold medal for ”Excellent Preservation Work”. Take a ride on the local horse drawn carriage, where you can lean back and enjoy the beautiful old timber framed houses.
On the harbour in front of Østersøen Holiday Apartments, you will soon experience the holiday vibe. From the harbour, you can walk along the narrow streets to the square, where there is always a great atmosphere – especially on market days, where you might be able to get a good deal from one of the locals. We recommend that you visit ”Svaneke Købmandshandel”, which is a charming traditional grocery store, where time was stopped in the 1950s.
Beautiful coastal paths
Along the coast in Svaneke, you will be able to experience some of the most beautiful coastlines on Bornholm. Go north, and you will arrive in the small fishing village of Listed. Go south, and you will arrive in another fishing village, Årsdale. On your way to Årsdale, you will pass ”Hullehavn”, a gorgeous little sandy bay, where you can take a swim.
The creative hub of Bornholm
Svaneke is not just charming. Svaneke is the creative hub of Bornholm. Here, you will be able to find anything your eyes, or belly, may desire. Glass art. Paintings. Designer clothes. Handmade liquorish, chocolate, ice cream, and hard candy. Do visit the local smokehouse, with its fish delicacies, or Svaneke Bryghus with its critically acclaimed beer. Another fun experience is Chicken Bingo, which is Bornholm's local version of the lottery. It sounds a bit strange, but it creates lots of laughs when you let 3 chickens loose on a big bingo field where you have to bet on which number field the chickens will put the next "blob" on. As skilled announcers talk about the progress, the audience loudly comments on the progress - and some think it's good to have bad tracks in this game. The acknowledged danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende has named the Chicken Bingo in Svaneke as Denmark's third best holiday activity. You have to experience it!

Do you have children with you? They will love Brændesgårdshaven
Just outside Svaneke, a path leads up through the fields. The path has been here for millennia and leads up to Sorte Muld, one of Scandinavia's largest Iron Age settlements. The King of Bornholm lived here and thousands of so-called guldgubber - small gold figurines - have been found, indicating that it was a very rich society. The excavations continue every summer and you are welcome to drop by. Perhaps today is the day the great gold treasure will be found? If you continue past Sorte Muld, you'll reach Bornholm's large amusement park ‘Brændesgårdshaven’, which offers a wealth of fun activities for children, a mini-zoo, rowing boats and much-much more. Once the entrance fee is paid, all rides are free. Brændesgårdshaven is a must visit when you bring your children to Bornholm.
Warning - Svaneke is highly addictive
It's not just the tourists who love Svaneke. Svaneke is also the town with some of the highest house prices on Bornholm. And it's not just Bornholm residents who move to the town. There are many tourists who have forgotten all about the return ticket to ‘Denmark’ after their encounter with Svaneke. We must therefore warn that a visit to Svaneke can become highly addictive... For example, Østersøen Holiday Apartments is probably the holiday resort on Bornholm with the largest number of regular guests.

You can easily make your reservation at Østersøen Holiday Apartments with Team Bornholm.

Østersøen Holiday Apartments seen from Svaneke Harbour
From merchant’s house to holiday apartments
In the 1700 and 1800s, Svaneke was home to many wealthy ship owners, who built magnificent merchant’s houses along the harbour. For centuries, the old merchant’s house, which today is known as Østersøen Holiday Apartments, has been located right there on the harbour. The oldest records are from 1758, where Madame Else Chat inherited the merchant’s house from her husband. In 1804, the leading man in Svaneke, tradesman and vice consul, Herman Jørgen Hansen, bought the merchant’s house.
From merchant’s house to guesthouse
The merchant’s house stayed in the Hansen family, and in 1870, his son in law, surveyor Munck, took over the building. Shortly hereafter, he opened a guesthouse in some of the buildings. The guesthouse was expanded in 1889, so that surveyor Munck was able to offer residences to his honourable guests – as he announced it in the local paper.
From hotel to holiday apartments
Through the 1900s, the then named Hotel Østersøen was known as one of the foremost hotels on Bornholm, among tourists, as well as the locals. In 1990, the hotel was carefully rebuilt to house holiday apartments, and the old courtyard was transformed with a flower garden and accompanying swimming pool. In 2008, (250 years after Madame Chat took over), all apartments were completely renovated, and have since then been carefully maintained and modernised, so that, today, the apartments are some of the most sought after holiday homes on Bornholm.
