In 1931, a company called Danish Distillers built a factory complex in the heart of Aalborg surrounded by the fiord, Limfjorden, the railway and the coast road. This reflected the strategy of uniting production in Aalborg, Roskilde, Slagelse and Copenhagen. Architect Alf. Cock-Clausen designed the buildings, which cluster around a central courtyard. The courtyard is cut in two by a transverse production building where the spirits themselves are distilled. The buildings around it have reinforced concrete frames, red brickwork and yellow tile details. The buildings are just as they were built in 1931. Inside, a large part of the original production equipment is still in its original place.
