Biography
View old mayors

The age of Varde is not precisely known, but it has been mentioned in written sources dating back to 1107 A.D. and is therefore believed to have been founded in the early Middle Ages. The town was established near a stream allowing for the creation of a convenient port for ships near a location where north and south-bound traffic by land had an important crossing, which was replaced later by a bridge. Varde was protected against sudden attacks from outsiders, first because of its distance from the shore and because of its proximity to the royal castle - Vardehus. It was the administrative center of the district and from this base of power a royal official governed the shire of Varde - a sizeable area. Varde has never been a big town, but in the early Middle Ages it boasted two churches.

In 2007 the current municipality of Varde was formed, following structural reforms in Denmark. The old municipality of Varde was merged with the municipalities of Blåvandshuk, Blaabjerg, Ølgod and Helle, which together formed the fifth biggest municipality in Denmark.
