About this tour

They had God on their side, the Herrnhuters. Because Herrnhut means under the Lord's protection. Christian VII had invited them so that the congregation could create economic prosperity in the area. The Herrnhuters had their own plan. They were here to create an ideal Christian town. In many ways, they were far ahead. Instead of low, dark buildings, light, air, and cleanliness prevailed in the town. All children attended school and were encouraged to learn.

Notably, corporal punishment was not permitted in these schools. It wasn’t until 1967 that corporal punishment was abolished in other schools throughout Denmark. The congregation took care of both the young and the old.

This tour is part of the theme The Planned Life, which you can also enjoy at King's Jelling, Mark - The Museum for a New Danish History and the Museum Fredericia.
