Villa Kampen, Protected villa in Midtbyen, Aarhus, Denmark
Description
Villa Kampen is a protected residential building in Aarhus situated on elevated ground along Strandvejen with views toward Aarhus Bay. The structure features detailed brickwork and arched oriel windows that frame views across the landscape.
History
The building was designed and constructed between 1901 and 1902 by architect Hack Kampmann while serving as Royal Building Inspector for Northern Jutland. Official protection status was granted in 1983.
Culture
The villa embodies National Romantic style by blending Danish craftsmanship with British design influences, visible in its irregular room layouts and curved architectural details. Visitors can still observe original interior craftsmanship and how the building balances tradition with artistic innovation.
Practical
The property is accessed via Strandvejen and the elevated location offers good views across the bay. The site now functions as corporate headquarters, so visitors should check in advance about visiting possibilities.
Did you know?
The grounds feature a garden designed by landscape architect Edvard Glæsel with winding paths, small bridges, and seating areas across the sloped terrain. This hidden garden with its passages and sculptures represents an uncommon example of landscape design from that era.
