Discover Flovlev

Flovlev is one of the smaller settlements on Thyholm. According to an approximate dating, its history goes back to the years 400 to 600 AD; a document from 1408 records two farms, and a photograph from 1923 shows a farmhouse. Høloftet is another key consideration when planning your trip: capacity and access are important points of reference, as are specific concert and dining arrangements.

Flovlev and the wider coastal area

Thyholm and Jegindø have a combined coastline of about 75 kilometres. North of Jegindø, the coastal and marine areas at Skibsted Fjord are designated as a nature reserve. These regional details provide context for the smaller settlement of Flovlev on Thyholm: the coastline figure refers to Thyholm and Jegindø together, while the designated nature reserve covers the areas at Skibsted Fjord.

Historical traces in the village

Flovlev is one of the oldest villages in the region; its founding is dated approximately to the years 400 to 600 AD. A document from 1408 records two farms in Flovlev. The historical name “Flowesløfuæ” is also attested for that same year. The approximate founding period and the dated document entry are different points of reference in time: the former spans several centuries, while the document names a single year. This distinction helps put the village’s history in context without assuming that it was founded in a specific year.

Flovlev also historically had a mill. Another specific record is the photograph taken in 1923 of the farmhouse “Jens Jespersens enkes hus” in Flovlev. While the document mentions two farms, the photograph focuses on a single house. Together with the historical name, these references offer different perspectives on the village’s history: an older name, several farms, and a named farmhouse.

The connection to Hvidbjerg is also evident in two historical contexts. Shortly after 1880, Peder N. Rokkjær moved his inn from Flovlev to Hvidbjerg. The preparatory school in Floulev closed when a preparatory school was established in Hvidbjerg. In the first case, an inn changed location; in the second, the school’s closure is explicitly linked to the establishment of the school in Hvidbjerg.

Høloftet: Capacity, access and events

Høloftet is licensed for up to 150 people; 120 is given as the appropriate number of dining guests. This distinction matters: the figure of 120 people refers to dining, while the licence for up to 150 people refers to the venue’s capacity. Høloftet is on the first floor and can only be accessed by stairs. Take this into account when planning a visit or event there.

A calendar entry dated 12 September 2026 describes intimate concerts at Høloftet. A shared meal before the concert is planned for one concert evening; Delemad from Restaurant Værftet will be served. These details relate to specific concerts or a single concert evening. If you include an event in your travel plans, check the dates and confirm the meal for the evening you choose.

Flovlev thus brings together local history, several clearly dated or time-framed records, and practical details about Høloftet. When choosing where to stay, you can consider whether the village’s historical connections are of particular interest to you or whether a specific concert date will shape your trip. The information about capacity, dining guests and stair access offers different practical guidance for a visit to Høloftet.
