Hammermøllen

Hammermøllen features two water wheels powering bellows for the forge and hammers specifically designed for forging gun barrels in industrial production.

The mill complex, established in 1765, served as the central power source for the Kronborg weapons factory, manufacturing firearms until its transition in 1873.

The facility now functions as a museum displaying a model of Hellebæk from 1823, complete with a blacksmith shop and weapons exhibition.

Visitors can participate in guided tours examining the technology of watermills, firearms manufacturing processes, and the historical development of water power.

The surrounding water system developed by the end of the 18th century contained 27 separate dammed pools supporting industrial operations.
