In Horsens, Bastian" is a witness to the rise and fall of the city's industrial fortunes. This factory was built for Count Frijs in 1875 by a civil engineer named J.C. Clausen. Today, the factory houses the local government offices of Region Mid-Jutland and others. Part of the original factory – the machinery and boiler house – still stands. It has an octagonal chimney shaped like a minaret, and two houses. The factory has been expanded several times, most recently in 1936 but with respect for the original striped brickwork. From 1896 until 1965, the factory manufactured telephones, including the distinctive Kirk phones. Bastian was listed in 1988 and was renovated in 2007. "
