Fjordenhus

In June 2018, Vejle got a brand new and very special landmark. The world-famous Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson is behind Fjordenhus, a unique building located on Vejle's waterfront. The artwork is packed with details and unconventional angles, and nature has been thought into the construction itself.

The 9,000 square metre building rises 28 metres from the harbour basin and consists of four interconnected cylinders that connect the fjord to the city. The building is made so that it is possible to sail through in a kayak and experience a very special angle. The top of the building is planted with solar panels and at night it is lit from within, almost looking like a lighthouse in the dark.

The walls of the building are made up of thousands of narrow rectangular bricks, with several blue and green stones in between. The green stones dominate the lower part of the building, around the fjord, while the blue ones become more numerous as the building rises towards the sky. And this is just one example of how nature has been taken into account. Another example is a sculpture that is alternately revealed and hidden by the tide.

Thus, it is a unique building where art and architecture merge into one, in beautiful harmony with the surrounding nature.

The ground floor is open to the public every day between 07.00 and 24.00 and there are regular guided tours where you can get an insight into the artist's thoughts and ideas behind the design of the building and the various works of art it houses.

Right in the middle of the monument is Jelling Church, a Romanesque stone church from 1100, where Gorm the Old was reburied in 2000. The small rune stone was erected by Gorm the Old and is the oldest testimony to the name of Denmark. For the same reason, the stone is called Denmark's name certificate.
