Kolind is a railway town, with a population of 1,924 (as of 1 January 2024),[1] in Syddjurs Municipality, Central Denmark Region in Denmark.
Kolind was the municipal seat of the former Midtdjurs Municipality until 1 January 2007.
Kolind is situated in central Djursland at the western end of the drained lakebed of Kolindsund.
Kolind Church is located in the northeastern part of the town just 300 metres east of the railway station.[2]
A runestone is erected at the armory of the church. It was originally located as a door threshold between the porch and the church and was notified in 1868 by state councilor Jens Jakob Worsåe - and at his behest placed in the armory.[3]
Kolind is served by Kolind railway station on the Grenaa Line between Aarhus and Grenaa.
