Local tips
- Visit early in the afternoon shortly after opening; fresh donations are often put out then and the shop is generally calmer.
- Bring a reusable tote bag, as second-hand shops may have limited packaging and it keeps your visit more sustainable.
- Have a quick look through both men’s and women’s sections; sizes and styles sometimes get mixed when volunteers are busy.
- Carry small Danish bills or a bank card; payments are usually simple, but exact cash can speed up the queue at busy moments.
- If you are staying on Bornholm for a while, consider donating unwanted clothing here at the end of your trip.

Discover more about Sct. Nicolai Genbrug
A community thrift shop in the heart of Rønne
Sct. Nicolai Genbrug sits on Møllegade, just a short stroll from Rønne’s harbour streets, in a modest corner shop that feels instantly local. The storefront is unassuming, but step inside and you are met by a bright, orderly space where clothing rails and shelves are packed without feeling chaotic. This is not a warehouse-style outlet, but a human-scale shop where you can browse slowly and still see everything in a single visit. The shop is part of the social initiatives connected to Sct. Nicolai Church in Rønne, and every krone earned helps support charitable and community work on the island. That gives shopping here a different tone from a typical bargain hunt: you are both reducing waste and helping fund local projects.What you will find on the hangers and shelves
The focus is firmly on second-hand clothing, often described as “almost only clothes”, so this is the right place if you enjoy rummaging through garments rather than bulky household goods. You can expect women’s and men’s clothing, accessories and seasonal pieces, from warm layers for Bornholm’s windier days to lighter outfits for summer. Beyond fashion, the store also reflects its broader role as a thrift outlet, so you may spot smaller home items such as glassware, ceramics, books or decorative pieces. Stock changes constantly, depending on donations, which adds a treasure-hunt element: one week might bring a stack of knitwear, another a run of retro plates or costume jewellery.Behind the scenes: volunteers and purpose
Everything in Sct. Nicolai Genbrug is sorted, priced and put out by volunteers linked to the parish. They handle donations, check the condition of items and keep the shop tidy. The emphasis is on clean, usable goods, especially clothing that is ready to wear without repair. This volunteer model creates a friendly, informal atmosphere. Conversations at the counter are as much a part of the experience as the browsing, and you can sense that many regulars treat the shop as a small neighbourhood meeting point as well as a place to pick up practical items at low prices.Sustainable shopping with a Bornholm twist
Thrift shops play a quiet but important role in island communities, where shipping new goods can be costly and waste has a bigger environmental footprint. By giving garments and household items a second life, Sct. Nicolai Genbrug supports a more circular way of consuming on Bornholm. For travellers, dropping in is a simple way to shop more sustainably. You might pick up an extra sweater instead of buying new outdoor gear, or find a reusable mug or scarf to take home as a low-impact souvenir with a local story behind it.Planning your visit and timing your browse
Opening hours are compact and centred on the afternoon: Monday to Friday the doors are typically open in the early afternoon, with shorter hours on Saturdays and closed on Sundays. That makes it easy to combine a visit with sightseeing in central Rønne, but it is worth noting that mornings and evenings are quiet times with the shutters down. The shop is small enough that a focused browse can take just 20–30 minutes, but many visitors linger longer, especially if they enjoy combing through clothing racks item by item. With no pressure to buy and prices kept low, it is a relaxed stop between museums, cafes and the town’s harbourfront.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
