Marskgården Højergård

Højergård is a newly restored classic marsh farm in the West Schleswig architectural style and is built as a longhouse. The building was previously part of a larger farm complex with several buildings and was at one time a four-winged farmhouse. Today, Højergård consists of the 200-year-old farmhouse from 1823, an older barn from the 18th century to the east, a villa from 1906 to the north and a new wing from 2019 to the west.

Together, the three buildings tell the story of a special building tradition that has been shaped by the nature, culture and history of Southern Jutland for generations. Today, Marskgården in Højer is owned by Realdania By & Byg, whose restoration will promote the living building culture.

The town of Højer is located on an island on the edge of the marsh behind the outer dikes. From here you can look out into the damp low-lying marsh to the south and west. The town originated in the Middle Ages and was an early harbour for merchant ships and oyster boats. Højer is rich in architectural heritage and the town centre has one of the highest concentrations of listed and preservation-worthy buildings in the country.

OystersThe Wadden Sea is famous for its oyster beds, and oysters are a delicious delicacy in the area. Oysters can be prepared in a variety of ways, but are often served raw or lightly fried with a little lemon juice. Pick your own oysters on the Wadden Sea oyster beds with the Oyster Safari with Wadden Sea Experiences.

LambThe area around the Wadden Sea is known for its lamb, which grazes on the salty meadows. Wadden Sea lamb has a unique flavour and dishes such as roast lamb or lamb chops are not to be missed.

Vegetables: The soil around the Wadden Sea is also rich in fresh and delicious vegetables. For example, asparagus, carrots, potatoes and cabbage are popular ingredients in local South Jutland regional dishes.

Crab clawsCrab fishing is also a popular activity in the Wadden Sea, and crab claws are a delicious part of the local cuisine. Crab claws are often served boiled and peeled and can be enjoyed with a fresh dip of mixed herbs or in a summery salad.

PlaicePlaice is one of the best known and tastiest fish in the Wadden Sea. They are caught fresh and are often prepared as fried or breaded plaice fillets served with lemon and remoulade. A sure winner!

HerringHerring is a fish that thrives in the Wadden Sea and is caught and eaten in large quantities. There are many different ways to prepare Wadden Sea herring, but a favourite is always the marinated or fried herring with raw onions and rye bread.
