Ranum
Ranum is a town in the community of Løgstør and the Vesthimmerland municipality in Denmark.
Ranum is situated approx. 10 km south of Løgstør with a population of 1,108 (1 January 2011)[1], this area is part of "Rural" Denmark with very low population.
Ranum was established around the year 1100 and has been an attractive village throughout the last millennium. Today however - like many other Danish rural cities - Ranum suffers severely from de-population and negative growth. One of the reasons for this negative growth has been the removal of the teachers seminarium, which used to bring a lot of people to the city, and a political tendency towards a general centralization of institutions.
