Hjelmerstald I | Aalborg, Denmark
The street was started in the middle of the 17th century. The area was mainly used as stable buildings for the nearby Aalborghus castle. There were soon buildings for habitation, as can be seen already in the calculation of the area's property tax in 1682.
With the construction of dwelling also came shops, workshops, and pubs.
The street had very small houses, which were also of very poor quality, with much lower housing prices than other parts of Aalborg. At the end of the 18th century, soldiers from a newly established garrison regiment were moved to Hjelmerstald, at the same time as the poor population became residents.
Around the 20th century, Hjelmerstald had developed into a neighbourhood, with a tarnished reputation, which you only got to if you had an errand there.
Today it is a cosy and very attractive area, where the houses are romantic, small and very beautiful.
