Where Passage Meets Portal
Designated as “Porte Des Mortes” since the 1700s, Death's Door is the main navigational passage between Lake Michigan and Green Bay, known for its ominous storms and shipwrecks. Its renowned danger eventually inspired “Door,” the name of the county and peninsula today.
A well-known Scandinavian settlement, Door County celebrates its Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian heritage. The Dörr is named in honor of that heritage, translating to “entry” or “portal.” The name Dörr serves as a promise to our guests: we are the gateway to your own Door County experience.
