Hessel manor near Hvalpsund is first recorded in 1391 and is considered Denmark's last fully thatched, four-winged manor house. Most of the buildings date from the 18th century, while the barn goes back to the 17th. Today it operates as a living cultural-history museum depicting rural life in the 1800s - with dairy cattle grazing the fields, heritage grain varieties under cultivation, and volunteers demonstrating traditional crafts such as blacksmithing, wood-turning and rope-making.
