The building thus replacing the existing since the Middle Ages ferry service between pinene on Salling and plagues on Mors from ( 1873 to 1924 between Glyngore and Nykøbing ). The opening ceremony on 30th May 1978 where the Danish Queen Margrethe II was present, was overshadowed by a bomb threat, so that the bridge in the course of the ceremony had to be shut off.
