Det Historisk Arbejdende Værksted

Det Historisk Arbejdende Værksted is an active working local museum housed in the former Holeby Elværk, a beautiful historic power station from 1911.

The small cultural museum includes a workshop with a working blacksmith's forge where visitors can try out their skills at the crossbow bolt. It requires both concentration and good arm strength!

Visitors also have the opportunity to see a collection of machine tools from the period 1910 to 1935 and experience the two-cylinder diesel engine in action. The diesel engine was built in 1935 at the nearby Holeby Diesel Engine Factory.

As a good complement to the historical working workshop, various historical tools are on display.

See the website for opening hours. Group visits by appointment only.
