Three-Storey House
The building comes from a large merchant's property which was originally built in Jomfru Anegade in Aalborg in 1585. The construction, with jettied storeys, makes each storey broader and longer than the one beneath it. Rebuilt in "Den Gamle By" (English: The Old Town) in 1926.
In 1914, the museum opened as the world's first open-air museum of its kind, concentrating on town culture rather than village culture. The museum consists of 75 historical buildings collected from 20 townships in all parts of the country. The town itself is the main attraction but most buildings are open for visitors. The rooms are either decorated in the original historical style or organized into larger exhibits.
