Silkeborg Chamber Lock

Highlight • Structure

Kammerslusen in Silkeborg is a lock that forms a passage where the Gudenå is dammed at the former Silkeborg paper mill.

The new lock was inaugurated on August 1, 1920. The lock is still in use today, but mainly by canoes and smaller motorboats.

Silkeborg Church

Highlight • Religious Site

Silkeborg Church was completed in November 1877.

A cruciform church in the Romanesque style, at that time with an "open gable". During the extensive restoration in 1941-43, however, the church interior was vaulted. Architect Harald Lønborg-Jensen was responsible for this beautiful work, described as "brilliant" by a contemporary colleague.
