Holstebro is the main town in Holstebro Municipality, Denmark. The town, bisected by the Storåen ("The Large Creek"), has a population of 34,873 (1 January 2014).
The town arose at a ford by the creek, and later a bridge was erected. The name probably derives from holdested ved broen (lit, "a resting place by the bridge").
Holstebro was first mentioned in a letter from Bishop Thyge of Ribe in 1274. A large fire in 1552 destroyed many of the town's old buildings.
The town is a trading, industrial and cultural center in western Jutland. Industries include the manufacture of processed food, iron and machinery, wood and furniture, textiles and chemicals.
Hostelbro has a large network of pedestrian walkways (gågader) in the town centre either side of the River Storå. This area has a varied shopping environment, enhanced by outdoor sculptures and picturesque buildings, including the town church and the Town Hall. The first sculpture purchased by Holstebro Municipality was Alberto Giacometti's sculpture "Woman on the Cart" purchased in 1966.
Hvorfor sætte sit lys under en skæppe, når der er alle mulige grunde til at brænde det af i begge ender? Holstebro er en fantastisk kommune, og derfor har vi lavet en hurtig, let forståelig (og - som du måske har bemærket - meget lidt vestjysk) introduktion til kommunen. Vi er gode til sport. Vi er gode til talentpleje - og så er vi især gode til det der med kultur. Se hvorfor og hvordan i filmen her - som også giver dig svar på, hvorfor det er helt ok med os, at Holstebro er en regulær lorte-kommune! P.S. Ironi og storhedsvanvid kan forekomme ;-)
