Kolonihaver

Kulturmiljø in Denmark

The allotment gardens (kolonihaver) in Silkeborg include several historic garden associations such as Marienlund (1912 and 1917), Frydensbjerg, Bøgely, Dybdalen, and Langsøhaven. These associations lease land from Silkeborg Municipality and provide urban residents with garden plots for growing vegetables, socializing, and enjoying green surroundings. The allotment garden area documents the early 20th-century social movement that gave working-class families access to nature and self-sufficiency within the town.
