Hidden within Den Gamle By, the Renaissance Garden whispers stories of a bygone era. Built in 1593 by merchant and councilman Poul Pedersen Skriver, this grand merchant’s house originally stood in Aarhus’s Badstuegade. Although only half its original length remains, the Renaissance Garden proudly displays the intricate, eye-catching timber framing of its time. Imagine Aarhus in the 16th century. Merchants thrived during the Renaissance. Their wealth is reflected in the Garden’s oak timber framing, prized for its strength and resistance to the elements. Notice the distinctive overhangs between each story, a Renaissance hallmark that expands each level slightly beyond the one below. Today, within Den Gamle By’s walls, the Renaissance Garden serves a different purpose. It now hosts educational programs and special events, creating new memories for the children of Aarhus. The building echoes with the laughter of students engaged in Den Gamle By’s school services. This magnificent house, once a symbol of mercantile prosperity, now nurtures young minds. The Renaissance Garden’s journey through time reflects Aarhus’s own evolution, from a bustling port city to a center of education and culture.
