Bornholm was pawned to [[Lübeck]] by [[Frederick I of Denmark]] for 50 years starting in 1525, in payment for its support in his acquisition of the Danish throne.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Lübecker time |url=https://www.bornholm.net/holiday-bornholm-bornholms-history-1321-1525.html |website=Lubeck.net |access-date=5 April 2025}}</ref> Its first militia, [[Bornholms Milits]], was formed in 1624. Swedish forces conquered the island in 1645, but returned the island to Denmark in the following peace settlement. After the war in 1658, Denmark ceded the island to Sweden under the [[Treaty of Roskilde]] along with the rest of the [[Skåneland]], [[Bohuslän]] and [[Trøndelag]], and it was occupied by Swedish forces.
[[Bornholm uprising|A revolt broke out the same year]], culminating in Villum Clausen's shooting of the Swedish commander [[Johan Printzensköld]] on 8 December 1658.<ref name=Museum>{{Cite web |url=http://www.bornholmsmuseum.dk/sekundaer-menu/forside.aspx |title=Bornholm Museum |access-date=20 May 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150221145429/http://www.bornholmsmuseum.dk/sekundaer-menu/forside.aspx |archive-date=21 February 2015 |url-status=dead }}</ref> After the revolt, the inhabitants handed back their island to the Danish kings.

Bornholm attracted many famous artists at the beginning of the 20th century, forming a group now known as the [[Bornholm school of painters]]. In addition to [[Oluf Høst]], they include [[Karl Isaksson]] (1878–1922) from Sweden, and the Danes [[Edvard Weie]] (1879–1943), [[Olaf Rude]] (1886–1957), [[Niels Lergaard]] (1893–1982), and [[Kræsten Iversen]] (1886–1955).<ref>[http://www.visitdenmark.com/en-us/bornholm/art/bornholms-culture-and-heritage "Bornholm's culture and heritage"] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130503105849/http://www.visitdenmark.com/en-us/bornholm/art/bornholms-culture-and-heritage|date=3 May 2013}}, Visit Denmark.
