Discover more about Svanebro
A coastal shop with a sweet heart
Svanebro sits on Vesterhavsgade in the small fishing village of Vorupør, a short walk from the windswept North Sea. From the outside it looks like a classic North Jutland shopfront, but step through the door and you enter a warm, fragrant world of sweets, specialties and handpicked gift items. The atmosphere is relaxed and homely, the kind of place where you instinctively slow down and start browsing. The shop has grown into a local fixture in Thy, drawing both residents and holidaymakers who wander in after a walk on the beach or along the dunes. Its scale is intimate rather than overwhelming, with shelves and displays arranged so you can easily scan the selection and discover something new without feeling rushed.Traditional candy making on display
One of Svanebro’s main draws is its focus on classic boiled sweets and confectionery. Jars and bags of colorful candies line the counters, ranging from fruity pieces to strong licorice and old-fashioned flavors that feel straight out of a Danish childhood. The candies are made in small batches, creating an enticing aroma of sugar and flavoring that drifts through the shop. On selected days, the copper kettles come into use and you can watch the process of stirring, rolling and cutting the warm candy mass into bite-sized pieces. The rhythm of the work, the hissing steam and the clatter of cooling sweets give the place a small workshop feel, turning a simple shopping stop into a small performance of traditional craft.Gifts, handicrafts and local delicacies
Beyond the sweet counter, Svanebro also functions as a local specialty store. You find shelves with regional delicacies such as chocolates, spice blends, honey and occasionally bottles from nearby producers, all chosen to reflect the character of Thy. This makes the shop a handy place to assemble a picnic, a hostess gift, or a basket of edible souvenirs. There is also a range of homeware and personal items: candles, natural soaps, decorative objects and jewelry, many of them with a handmade look and a Scandinavian, coastal aesthetic. The mix of practical goods and little luxuries invites you to touch, smell and compare, and it is easy to lose track of time matching sweets and small gifts.Part of everyday life in Vorupør
Although Svanebro is an obvious stop for visitors, it is also embedded in village life. Vorupør’s streets, harbour and beaches are close by, and people often drop in after errands, a swim in the North Sea, or a walk along the pier. The shop’s regular opening hours through the week make it a reliable place to pick up something special without needing an occasion. The setting adds to its charm: outside, the air smells of salt and seaweed and you can sometimes hear the surf when the door opens; inside, there is the contrasting scent of sugar, spices and warm wax. This interplay of rough coastal elements and cosy interior makes Svanebro feel like a natural extension of a day spent exploring Thy’s dunes and waves.Planning your visit
Svanebro keeps daytime opening hours most days of the week, typically from late morning into the late afternoon, with a slightly earlier start on Saturdays. It is compact and easy to navigate, with enough space to move between displays even when it is busy. A short visit may be enough if you know what you want, but many travelers end up staying longer as they explore the different shelves and sweet jars. Because the shop is so close to the sea, it works well as a planned stop in any season: a refuge on blustery winter days when the wind howls over the dunes, or a cool retreat after a sunny afternoon on the beach. Whether you are looking for a bag of handmade candy to share, a bottle of something local to bring home, or simply a small reminder of the North Sea coast, Svanebro offers a concentrated taste of Thy under one roof.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
