Cathrinesminde Brickworks
Cathrinesminde Teglværk
A well-preserved 19th-century brickworks industrial site on the Flensburg Fjord, with a huge ring kiln and brick-making demonstrations.
Dozens of brickworks once operated around the Broager Peninsula, producing 'yellow bricks' shipped across Northern Europe. Cathrinesminde Brickworks operated until 1968 and is now an industrial museum. It preserves its ring kiln, drying sheds, steam engine and workers' housing. In summer there are brick-making demonstrations and hands-on activities for children. The site sits by the fjord and can be combined with a walk along the Gendarme Trail. Entry is about 80 Danish kroner, and it is open roughly May to October. About 15 km from Sønderborg.
Opening hours
approx. May–Oct, 10:00–17:00 (check official website)
