In 1943, Hvidsten Inn became the center for the Hvidsten group, which was part of the Danish resistance movement. Hvidsten group was arrested by the Gestapo, the secret German police, on 11 March 1944. Eight members of the group were sentenced to death and executed on 29 June 1944. In 1945, a memorial stone over the eight executed members of the Hvidsten group was raised near Hvidsten.
