Places of interest

In a former inn, Henrik Konnerup started a chocolate factory known as "Konnerup & Co" in 2003, which has 12 employees. The company went bankrupt in spring 2017, when its longtime financial partner could not continue. Local businessman Ole Billum bought the assets out of the bankruptcy estate so Konnerup could continue operations, but not as an owner.[2]
