CULTURAL EXPERIENCES IN THE HEART OF NORDHAVN

NORDHUS brings together culture, gastronomy, creativity, beautiful architecture, and community under one roof.

THE HOUSE OF NORDHUS

In the heart of Århusgadekvarteret in Nordhavn, you will find an iconic building – an architectural gem and a vibrant hub of community and creativity.

Located in the district, “The Red City”,  the building is distinguished by its impressive, south-facing gable, where meticulous attention has been given to the brickwork. Each brick has been carefully selected and precisely placed, giving the structure a timeless and elegant character.

The heart of the Culture House is the impressive main room with almost 6 meter high ceilings. The high ceilings creates a majestic yet inviting atmosphere. The sustainable materials used throughout the building enhances a sense of calm and comfort, while reflecting the commitment to eco-friendly living.

OUR PARTNERSHIPS

samarbejder i nordhavn

Through strong partnerships, NORDHUS helps foster culture, community, and sustainable urban development. Here you can learn more about some of the organisations and initiatives we collaborate with.

Cultigen

NORDHUS is a partner in Cultigen, the Capital Region’s urban development initiative. The project works to promote more sustainable tourism in Copenhagen by spreading the city’s cultural experiences to more non-central neighbourhoods and developing new local destinations, including Nordhavn.

The initiative brings together cultural institutions such as NORDHUS, local communities, and other stakeholders. Cultigen is led by the City of Copenhagen and co-funded by the European Urban Initiative.

Kulturdistriktet

Kulturdistriktet is a local neighbourhood association dedicated to strengthening culture and community in Nordhavn and Østerbro. The organisation highlights local experiences and organises annual traditions such as Midsummer (the Danish Sankt Hans) celebrations in Nordhavn, Carnival (the Danish fastelavn), Halloween, and the Street Festival for Århusgade.

Kulturdistriktet also co-organises festivals, debates, networking events, and other cultural activities—including several hosted at NORDHUS.

The organisation is part of a global movement of cultural districts working to create vibrant neighbourhoods with a strong concentration of arts and culture.

Kulturhusene i Danmark

Kulturhusene i Danmark (meaning Culture Houses of Denmark) is a nationwide network of cultural centres across Denmark.

The country’s many cultural centres provide spaces for arts, culture, and local communities. While each house plays a different role in its local area and continues to evolve, they are stronger when working together.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND INCLUSIVE COMMUNITIES

The Nordhus Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting and promoting initiatives that help young people navigate the transition to adulthood through education, community engagement, and life experiences.

Born from a commitment to fostering sustainable development and inclusive communities, the Nordhus Foundation seeks to empower future generations to take action.

We believe that we are stronger together. That it is possible to create a sustainable development where we live in balance with the planet and with each other. We aim to inspire new generations with optimism and a belief in the future. We believe in the power of example and with NORDHUS, we want to lead the way and show an example of a new and innovative model for sustainable development.
