The Holbæk Museum is a cultural history museum . It aims to help preserve the local, regional and national heritage in and around Holbaek through collection, mapping, research, conservation and dissemination. The museum is located in historical - partly listed - buildings in the center of Holbæk in Denmark .
history
The museum was founded in 1910 under the name Volksmuseum für Holbæk and surrounding districts ( Danish Folkemuseet for Holbæk og omliggende Herreder) and opened the first exhibition in the monastery building at St. Nikolai Church in November 1911. In 1919 the museum moved to the new premises on Klosterstræde; it currently comprises 13 historical buildings and a pilot boat.
building
The thirteen museum buildings from the 17th to 19th centuries With the exception of Købmandsgården, all of them are in their original location on the market square in the old town of Holbæk.
Klosterstræde 18 - The old town hall
The yellow-painted brick building was built in the late Empire style in 1844 . In the central projection of the two-story building there is a monogram of Christian VIII above the entrance . The building in the old town was the city's first town hall. In addition to the public administration - which was located at Klosterstræde 7 before 1844 - the fire brigade and detention cells were also located here .
In 1911, the city built a second town hall, which is now the police station. After the construction of the new government center, the old town hall was used as a library and for museum purposes in 1979, and since 1998 only for the museum. Today the building houses a lecture hall, museum shop, visitor café and administration.
The building is a historical monument.
Klosterstræde 16 - front building
The front building, a late Renaissance half-timbered house , was built as a private home by Pastor Søren May around 1670. Originally it and the rear building were part of a three-wing city courtyard. The third side, which lay over the inner courtyard of the museum, was demolished around 1900. The street facade is made of red brick, whereas the half-timbering on the courtyard side has red and yellow bricks in the Flensburg format .
A poor house and a school were set up in the building for later use.
In 1915 the museum saved the front building from demolition and - after extensive restoration in 1916–18 - used it for exhibitions. Part of the house was used as a gatehouse until the 1970s. Today the building houses exhibitions on Holbaek, the fjord , town and country from the Middle Ages to 1870.
The building is a historical monument.
Klosterstræde 14 - Borch's handicraft school
The yellow-painted half-timbered house was built around 1670 and was originally part of Søren May's farm. The building used as a handicraft school was expanded into two floors in the 1800s. In 1844 the market town of Holbæk took over the farm and set up the handicraft school for middle-class girls , which in 1891 was moved to the free school opposite. The building was then a residential building until it went to the museum in 1971, which set up a weaving mill there.
Klosterstræde 8–12
The originally single-storey half-timbered houses probably date from the 1700s. The former craftsmen's buildings, which had long been in communal ownership, were still inhabited until the 1970s when they went to the museum.
Klosterstræde 12 was probably raised on the courtyard side as early as the 1700s, and the street facade was renewed in 1950. A craftsmen's exhibition has been set up there since 1976 with a painter's workplace around 1900 and a cooper's workshop from Holbaek, as it was in operation from 1900 to 1976.
An exhibition on tobacco and lighting was opened in Klosterstræde 10 in 1979, and later a small exhibition on the ground floor with artefacts from Allied flights over the area during the occupation .
The building at Klosterstræde 8 , the upper floor of which is a later addition, was renovated to its appearance from 1990. In 1938 the Jacobsen family and 11 children moved into a small 2 ½ room apartment on the ground floor. The exhibition in this house traces the history of the Jacobsen family and also illustrates the everyday life of a typical working-class family in Holbæk in the 1940s.
Baghuset
The red-painted, single-storey half-timbered house originally included a shed, barn, coach house and chambers for servants. Around 1900 part of the northern end was demolished, so the gable here is made of brick. In 1844 Holbæk took over the building, which was built around 1670, and turned it into a poor house. The people were housed in two large rooms, one for women and one for men. The rooms were dormitory, dining room and workspace at the same time. The workhouse was closed in 1909.
In 1915 the museum saved the building from demolition, and after extensive restoration, it has been used for exhibitions since 1919. Today furnishings from rural houses are shown here.
The building is a historical monument.
Friskole
The brick building of the free school ( arm school ) was built in 1867 and received the second floor in 1888. The school, founded in 1842, was previously housed in the now demolished north wing of Søren May's farm. At the beginning of the 1900s the Østre Skole was built and the free students moved there.
During the First World War the free school was barracks for the security forces and in the years after the war it was a shelter for the homeless. In 1930 the school came into the possession of the museum. The building now houses exhibitions about Countess von Eriksholm, Astrid Ahlefeldt-Laurvig and special collections.
Købmandsgården
The merchant's house, built in 1660 by the merchant and captain Christen Thomsen, is the only building in the museum complex that is not in its original location. As the former main building of a trading house from Holbæk, which was demolished in 1937, the half-timbered house with an arcade was moved to its current location. A special feature is the foundation made of large granite stones, which are considered the last surviving remains of the old parish church of St. Nicolai, which stood next to the original square of the trading house.
The building is furnished with objects from the first half of the 19th century and is a listed building.
Bagstræde 8
The yellow brick house on Bagstræde was built in the late Empire style in 1846 and was used for residential purposes until 1968. In 1971 it was transferred to the museum and is now an exhibition area for the Neolithic and Bronze Ages .
Ishuset
The former ice house of the elephant pharmacy is on the corner of Bysøstræde and Bagstræde and is not part of the museum complex. The small 1½-storey half-timbered house was built around 1857–67. Here the pharmacy stored ice extracted from the city lake or the fjord in winter, which was needed for the manufacture of medicines . Insulated with peat, ice could be kept here all year round.
In 1978 the Holbæk municipality had the ice house renovated and left it to the museum. Today it is used as an object magazine.
Tea pavilions
The tea pavilion , built around 1850, comes from the pharmacy garden and was previously - and now again - used for leisure activities. It is made of pine wood, has brick walls and a zinc sheet roof. Originally it had a stucco ceiling and a wooden floor. In 1937 the pharmacy garden became a public park and the pavilion was converted into the St. Elisabeth Hospital (now Elisabethcentret). In 2000 it was returned to its original place in the pharmacy garden (Bysøparken). Today the pavilion is used for museum, music and theater events.
Bakkekammen 45
The former home of the architect Marius Pedersen (1888–1965) was listed as a historical monument in 2006 and now houses a museum for more beautiful building. Pedersen was a major member of the Landsforeningen Bedre Byggeskik and head of the Holbæk School of Builders ( Bygmesterskolen ). 25 villas in the street were designed by Pedersen and his colleague Ivar Bentsen.
KDL Lodsbåden
The KDL pilot boat , which has been part of the museum since 1999 , is operated by voluntary members. The ship, built in 1922 and used as a pilot and harbor boat in Holbæk for over 50 years , is intended to contribute to the preservation of the old wooden boats characteristic of the Isefjord and to the cultural history of Holbæk as a harbor with shipping and shipbuilding on the fjord. During the restoration in 2001, the original appearance was restored.
