Folkets fabrik - People's Factory

Folkets fabrik - People's Factory

Maltfabrikken in Ebeltoft is both very old and brand new. Founded as a malting house in 1861 and closed down in 1998, the old factory was falling apart and facing demolition when a group of local people decided to save its iconic red buildings and turn them into a centre for all kinds of cultural and creative activities. After a fundraising tour de force and extensive redesigning and reconstruction, Maltfabrikken has now been reopened as a cultural and creative powerhouse with a huge heart – also known as The Peoples Factory.

A microbrewery and brewpub, a cosy eatery, great festival facilities, a well equipped concert room, a youth culture club, visual arts/exhibitions/crafts, an international artist residency, a public library combined with a local museum and historic archives, a creative coworking space – and much more.
