Holstebro is the main town in Holstebro Municipality, Denmark. The town, lying on both sides of Storaen, has a population of 34,241 (1 January 2011). The town arose at a ford by the creek, and later a bridge was erected. The name probably derives from holdested ved broen. Hostebro 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. It has a large network of pedestrian walkways in the inner town that support a varied shopping environment beautifully enhanced by outdoor sculptures and picturesque buildings. The first sculpture purchased by Holstebro Municipality, and the cornerstone in their efforts to further cultural development in the town, is Alberto Giacometti’s sculpture “Woman on the Cart” purchased in 1966.Canoeing and kayaking on the nearly 100 km long Storaen is popular during the summer.
