Olivarius Bookstore

In the footsteps of Elna Olivarius

In the last century, the bookshop was located in shoemaker Marcher's property in Storegade and sold much more than books.

The shop was modest, just a room to the yard.

A few years later, Elna moved to a larger room facing the street, and in 1888 she had the property Storegade 11 built.

Elna Olivarius had a bookshop here until 1912.

Today, the bookstore is located in Helgolandsgade 2 and is Svaneke's small meeting place and literary oasis.

In addition to the books, you can e.g. find beautiful handmade paper, puzzles and exquisite notebooks.

And later in the day, maybe a nice glass of wine...
