Behind the harbor in the old fishing village of Aarsdale, an old and authentic Mission House is located at the end of a small and closed road. The cottage is beautifully located on the east coast of Bornholm, just a stone's throw from idyllic Svaneke.
The house was worn, sad and located in a parking lot when the family took it over three years ago. They have since given it a loving touch by renovating it with terraces, outdoor baths and planting various berry bushes, as well as an apple and almond tree. The family has also made a point of preserving the original architecture of the house, with the great hall, complete with pulpit and inscription on the wall, now serving as a lovely open-plan kitchen and living room with socializing as the focal point. The ground floor also includes a large bedroom, a small toilet and a large entrance hall, and the old choir on the first floor has been fitted with soundproof glass and converted into a bedroom overlooking the hall. The house is decorated in soft colors with interiors from Bornholm to reflect the peace and tranquility of the local community.
The maritime mill and fishing town of Aarsdale offers a cozy harbor environment with a sauna for winter swimming and a few active fishermen, a beautiful beach just 100 meters from the cottage, a Høker and Mikkeler has opened a good restaurant and pub in the summer. After a meal in town, you can take a walk to the town's most famous landmark, the well-preserved mill from 1877. If you have good walking shoes, you can also head to the beautiful nature and forest area, Paradisbakkerne, with many great hiking trails. Follow the nature trail three kilometers north to Svaneke and five kilometers south to Nexø, each of which is unique in its own special way.

Even though the house is in the middle of the city, it feels like a small and secret hideaway in the middle of nature
From the outside it looks like an ordinary house, but inside the architecture is very different in the form of the unique Mission House space
The atmospheric little fishing village of Aarsdale and the magnificent and ever-changing nature
The first time we came to Bornholm 10 years ago, it rained constantly. We stayed at the 'Hulehaven' campsite near Svaneke and visited friends in Aarsdale. Despite the rain, we fell in love with Bornholm, especially Aarsdale, and we visited the town and the mission house many times in the following years. When the previous owners decided to sell the house and asked us if we wanted to buy, it didn't take us many minutes to say yes. We use the house as much as possible, but since we live in Copenhagen on a daily basis and our children go to school, there are of course many days and weeks it is empty. We would therefore love to share our enthusiasm for the house, the city and Bornholm with others who can also enjoy it.
The town itself, Aarsdale, has many nice places, including the harbor, the beach and if you are in a social mood, there are the two pubs; Mikkeler and Gorms. If you prefer to be alone, Kåsen and the whole trip south of town is also magical. Bornholm in general is filled with all kinds of beautiful places, and Aarsdale is well located for most of them.
