Stenvad Mosebrug was originally a large and bustling factory where many workers produced peat from the area’s bogs. Now, the site stands as a vibrant piece of Danish industrial history. Stenvad Mosebrug testifies to the ability to innovate and seize opportunities, and its cultural heritage is the foundation of local identity and pride.
Visit us and delve into the history – hear about where the adventure began and how the site still holds significance for the local community. Take a ride on our narrow-gauge railway, which leads you through the scenic bog and provides a unique insight into the working conditions of the past. Children can play on the playground while you relax with a refreshment from our café.
Throughout the year, we host various events that make Stenvad Mosebrug a lively meeting place for both locals and visitors. Come and experience our exciting events, which offer something for everyone.
