Geography

[edit]

At the beach there are a large number of leisure houses which are also considered to belong to the city. About half of the population lives in the beach area, and the other half in the core town.

The hilly area to the south of Ølsted is known as Bakkerne (literally "The Hills"). It consists of meadows, a small peat bog and mixed deciduous forest. The name refers to the burial mound Rakehøj and the hills Vibjerg and Grævlingehøj. [2]

History

[edit]

The village is very old, and was most likely founded before year 400 A.D., according to excavations done at Stokrosevej in April 2006. The oldest building that is still standing is currently the church, which is dated to be from approximately year 1100.

The name Ølsted means "Beerplace" and is believed to be the original meaning of the word. The village is located at the border of the wetlands just south of Arresø lake, where there has probably been a lot of traffic historically.

King Frederik IV of Denmark restructured his army in 1715–1718 in order to obtain a large but not too expensive army, because of the Great Nordic War which took place in 1700–1721. He designated 12 regions to provide cavalry, and one of them was Frederiksborg. Being a pietist, he also ordered each of these regions to build 20 schools each in very high quality for the education of the children in the regions, providing the first public schools in Denmark. This decision was made March 28, 1721, and all schools were established in 1727. One of these schools was built in Ølsted, and today this building is being used as an office for the local church. More information here.
