NORDHUS IS THE CULTURAL CENTRE IN NORDHAVN FOR COMMUNITY, FOOD AND CULTURAL EXPERIENCES.

In the heart of Nordhavn, you’ll find NORDHUS, a cultural centre where gastronomy, community and experiences come together under one roof. We share meals, host concerts, workshops and events for locals, visitors and businesses alike.

THE HOUSE

nordhus i nordhavn

In the heart of the Århusgade district in Nordhavn, you’ll find NORDHUS – a cultural centre in Copenhagen that is both an architectural gem and a hub for community and creativity.

NORDHUS is located in Den Røde By and is characterised by its distinctive south-facing gable, where every single brick has been carefully selected and thoughtfully placed. The building’s architecture combines a modern expression with the area’s classic materials, giving the house a timeless and inviting character.

At the heart of NORDHUS is the large hall, with almost six metres of ceiling height. Its generous proportions create a unique atmosphere for everything from concerts and talks to communal dinners, corporate events and cultural experiences. At the same time, the warm, sustainable materials make NORDHUS a welcoming place to be – whether you come alone, with family, colleagues, friends or your mum group. The house is designed for both large communities and informal everyday gatherings.
