Learn more about hotels in Solvang

Known affectionately as "The Danish Capital of America", Solvang nestles in Santa Barbara County, California. This charming city, founded in 1911 by Danish settlers yearning for a 'bit of home', is now home to just over 6,000 residents. Picturesque Danish-themed buildings proudly line the streets, a testament to its vibrant, century-old Danish American heritage.

The city's identity was shaped greatly by its Danish settlers, who emigrated to the United States between 1850 and 1930. This influx of Danes, many influenced by the teachings of N.F.S. Grundtvig, a Danish philosopher and pastor, shaped the city's educational and religious institutions. The architectural style, known as Danish Provincial, was birthed in the mid-1940s with Ferdinand Sorensen at the forefront, adding even more character to this unique city.

Solidifying its status as a must-see destination, Solvang’s popularity skyrocketed after being featured in an article in The Saturday Evening Post. Its fascinating history, beautiful architecture and pleasant climate keep holiday-goers coming back year after year.
