Løgstør's city centre consists of old streets with small houses built in the 1800s for fishermen and sailors.

Løgstør is an old trading place that, like Nibe, flourished in the 16th century due to its herring markets, but it only got its first merchant's rights in the year 1900.

Over and over again, the merchant position from Aalborg set itself counter to neighbouring attempts to expand trade opportunities and create economic growth in the smaller communities.

Already in 1598, Aalborgian complaints made a royal ban on Løgstør's spirited trade in grain and ice cream.

In 1942 the Aggersund bridge was built over the fjord, and Løgstør's catchment area was expanded to include the southern part of Han Herred.

Løgstør Church is a neo-gothic building built in red brick in 1893 with a tall slanting tower facing west.

[3] Løgstør is also a former municipality (Danish, kommune) in Region Nordjylland on the Jutland Peninsula in northern Denmark.

The island of Livø lies off the former municipality's western shores, and is partially a protected nature reserve.
