About
Bostrup Thing Mound
Bostrup Tinghøj is one of Denmark’s many well-preserved Bronze Age burial mounds, dating back around 3,000 years. In the Middle Ages, it became a local assembly site for Salling Syssel, where legal matters were discussed and decided. After 1688, it served as the district court mound, and until the late 1700s, death sentences were both passed and carried out here. Several executions took place, including for infanticide and witchcraft, with the condemned often buried at the foot of the mound.
