Taarnborg er en af Ribes mest velbevarede renæssancebygninger.
Taarnborg
Taarnborg is an old mansion, situated in the old Latin Quarter in Ribe. The building is most famous as Hans Adolf Bronson’s house around the year 1700. He was a psalm writer and bishop at the Cathedral of Ribe. Taarnborg has been restored by Ny Carlsbergfondet, and the buildings are today owned by Realea.
A mansion in the middle of town
Taarnborg was built from 1570-80. The building was originally surrounded by stables and barns, even though it was situated in midst town. The small town mansion has today a red tile roof, originally it was slate. The building is one of the best preserved Renaissance buildings in Ribe, and wooden beams found are dated back to around 1500.
Taarnborg also includes a smaller half-timbered house, called the ”Dog House” from mid 1700. This used to be a post office and contains offices today.
The buildings were 2003-04 restored extensively with support from Ny Carlsbergfondet and Kulturarvsstyrelsen.

Bishop’s palace and conference venue
Several famous persons have resided at Taarnborg, for instance Olaf Munch, who was the last catholic priest in Ribe, and the historian Anders Sørensen Vedel.
Taarnborg was bishop’s palace from 1743-1868 and the psalm writer H. A. Brorson was probably the most famous resident. In 1741 Brorson asked the King for permission to move from Hans Tausen’s old bishop’s palace near the Cathedral, since this building was so dilapidated and almost uninhabitable. Taarnborg is now a private house as well as conference venue with Brorson and the history of South Jutland on the program.
