Papermill
silkeborg
Description
In 1844 the owners of that mill got permission to establish a new paper mill near the river Gudenå. At that point Silkeborg basically consisted of a couple of small houses, a large farm and 30 inhabitants. Also, the state wanted to establish a market place in what was once known as dark Jutland because of the impassable character and lack of civilisation. That was changed with the paper mill and the market place - within a few years Silkeborg grew into a town as the new factory attracted people from the entire country. The papermill closed in the 1990’s and the area has now been transformed into a vibrant mixed-use area including offices, a Raddison blu hotel, restaurants, apartments, museums and galleries.
