The town
Ebeltoft is one of the oldest Danish market towns, which was granted its municipal charter in the year of 1301.
However, Ebeltoft as a town was already established in the middle of the 12th century.
The meaning of the name Ebeltoft cannot be verified, but it probably means Æble Toft: Apple Yard.
 

The old Town Hall and square
The old town hall executes approximately 450 annual weddings.
The weddings are mostly executed on saturdays from 11 a.m. and often attract a large audiance.


In the summer:
The night watchmen start their "Inspection round" and watchman's songs at 8, 9 and 10 p.m. from The old Town Hall.
The square is occupied by craftsmen selling their own high class art and craft. Cheramics, silver juvelery etc.
