The origin of the village can be ascribed to the establishment of a large trading post just south of Roholte's present location.

As the height of the land in the area increased, the sea retreated while trade gave way to agriculture and forestry.

[2] The church was built in 1441 in a decorative Late Gothic style with ribbed gables and horizontal belts of limestone and brick along the walls of the nave and around the tower.

[6] In 1908, a school building large enough to accommodate the increasing number of children in the village and its surroundings was completed.

[2] Recently, however, the cultural authorities have been discussing a proposal to give the school the status of a heritage-listed building in view of its local history and its architecture, probably the work of Jens Ingwersen, especially as it is built in brick and limestone reflecting the features of the church which stands opposite.
