Utzon Museum Fredensborg

Jørn Utzon's Fredensborghuse was built in 1962-63 on the initiative of the association Danes Worldwide. Today, the building is considered an architectural gem. You can experience the architecture when you visit the museum.

Utzon was inspired by many different architectural styles from around the world, and the Fredensborg houses are among other things a further development of the houses in the Forbidden City in Beijing. The complex consists of 30 terraced houses, 47 angular courtyard houses, and a community house with a restaurant, function rooms, and nine guest rooms.
