Visitors Guide 2008 - (Page 6) SOLVANG Velkommen til Solvang! A quote from an article in the 1947 edition of the Saturday Evening Post still remains true six decades later: "Solvang . . . a spotless Danish village that blooms like a rose in California’s charming Santa Ynez Valley. Old country charm and customs have been successfully fused with the American way of life. Nowadays . . . the quaint village is busy living up to its affectionate name, ‘Little Denmark’." S 6 olvang’s rich heritage dates back to 1911 when adventurous Danish-Americans traversed the plains from Iowa to establish a settlement in the golden state of California. They purchased 9,000 sundrenched acres of the former Rancho San Carlos de Jonata and situated their new community adjacent to the historic 1804 Old Mission Santa Inés. To preserve and promote Danish culture, the founders constructed a Danish folk school and church (the building now houses Bit O’Denmark Restaurant, 473 Alisal Road); then built Atterdag College, which opened in 1914 and eduW W W.

Just as it does in Copenhagen, Denmark’s national symbol the “Little Mermaid” bronze sculpture welcomes visitors to Solvang at the intersection of Mission Drive (Highway 246) and Alisal Road. As the 20th century progressed and Solvang’s population grew, more buildings began to reflect the Danish farm-style architecture—the cross-beamed “bindingsvaerk,” timbers framing either brick or stucco, handsomely carved eaves and doorways, and roofing of blue-green copper or thatch made of wood shingles cut jagged at the edges.
