Danmarks Traktormuseum, Agricultural machinery museum in Eskilstrup, Denmark.
Danmarks Traktormuseum is an agricultural machinery museum in Eskilstrup housing around 200 tractors and stationary engines displayed across four floors. The building is a brick warehouse dating to the early 1900s that was once used for seed cleaning before becoming a museum space.
The warehouse was built in 1918 as a seed cleaning facility and converted to its museum purpose in 1988 under municipal management. This transition reflects how industrial buildings have found new roles in preserving regional history.
The collection shows how machinery transformed Danish farming over decades. Visitors can see the shift from manual work to powered equipment through the machines on display.
The four-floor layout requires climbing stairs between levels, so visitors with mobility concerns should contact the museum in advance. The collection is best viewed on dry days since the warehouse maintains traditional storage conditions without modern climate control.
The collection includes 38 tractors that came from local farmers Bent and Knud Nielsen. This personal assembly formed the foundation of the museum and shows strong local roots in the farming community.
