Ørholm, Historical watermill in Mølleå Valley, Denmark
The Ørholm industrial complex consists of multiple buildings situated along the Mølleåen river, featuring traditional Danish architectural elements and water-powered mechanisms.
Originally established in the 15th century, Ørholm transformed from a grain mill to a gunpowder production facility in 1558 under the Danish crown's ownership.
The mill represents Denmark's industrial evolution, transitioning through various productions from gunpowder to copper goods, paper manufacturing, and textile manufacturing until 1977.
Visitors can reach Ørholm via the Nærum Railway, with the station located directly at the complex, offering connections to Copenhagen's northern suburbs.
The facility experienced two major fires in 1886 and 1913, leading to complete reconstructions that shaped the current industrial buildings' appearance.
