Tangevaerket Dam

The Tangevaerket Dam extends 800 meters across the Gudenå River, generating 3.3 megawatts of power through three Francis turbine-generators for local energy supply.

The construction of Tangevaerket Dam in 1921 required 500 workers to move 300,000 cubic meters of earth, resulting in the flooding of five homes and 22 farms.

The dam holds a position on the Kulturstyrelsen register as a monument, representing the industrial development and engineering achievements of early 20th century Denmark.

Visitors can access the dam along Bjerringbrovej 54 in Tange, where they can observe the power generation process and learn about hydroelectric technology.

The reservoir created by the dam, Tange Sø, holds 20 million cubic meters of water and covers 625 hectares, making it a substantial artificial lake in Denmark.
