Rødkærsbro

History

The oldest part of Rødkærsbro - north of Vindelsbæk - belongs to Vindum Parish, which was the largest parish in Middelsom Herred, because it also includes the former Faldborg Parish, where the church was demolished in 1655. Just west of the town, on the south side of the old main road is a memorial to the demolished Faldborg Church. Jutland's second oldest railway line, the Langå–Struer line, was inaugurated on 21 July 1863 and had a station here which was called Rødkærsbro, because south of the station there was a bridge over a low-lying lake, which was called Rødkær because it was surrounded by a reddish vegetation. In 1875 the conditions are described as follows: "Rødkjærsbro with railway station and inn". Around the turn of the last century, the town was referred to as: "Rødkjærsbro, Gde. and Huse, with inn, railway, telegraph and telephone exchange as well as postal forwarding."
