UTZON MUSEUM FREDENSBORG
Cultural heritage in the heart of North Zealand
Discover the architecture, interior and unique atmosphere of the Fredensborghusene at the Utzon Museum Fredensborg.
The unique courtyard houses designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon (1918-2008) have long been a magnet for architecture enthusiasts. The museum aims to promote the unique history of the houses. Here you can experience a visual narrative about architect Jørn Utzon, his philosophy and vision for his architecture and, not least, his understanding of the refined balance between community and privacy that is so characteristic of the Fredensborghusene. The museum is located in the center building, which also houses a restaurant and communal rooms used by residents and guests on a daily basis. In other words, it is a living museum.
