Located about 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) north of Gram and equidistantly south of Rødding, Brændstrup was until 1 January 2007 a part of the former Rødding Municipality, and is now a part of Vejen Municipality. Neighbouring municipalities are Haderslev Municipality to the south of Brændstrup and Esbjerg Municipality to the west.
Brændstrup is known for its Christian school, Brændstrup Kristne Friskole,[2] and the Harley Davidson service center located in the middle of Brændstrup was until 1 January 2017, one of only three authorized HD retailers in Denmark.[3][4]
Brændstrup was for 39 years from 1899 to 1938, a railway town on the part of Haderslev Amts Jernbaner running between Gram Castel and Rødding.[5]
A local attraction worth noticing is Stenmanden ("The Stone Man"), a monument of unknown origin residing in the nearby Gram Storskov forest.[6]
