Welcome to Maltfabrikken

Maltfabrikken in Ebeltoft is both very old and brand new. Founded as a malting house in 1861 and closed down in 1998, the old factory was falling apart and facing demolition when a group of local people decided to save its iconic red buildings and turn them into a centre for all kinds of cultural and creative activities. After a fundraising tour de force and extensive redesigning and reconstruction, Maltfabrikken has now been reopened as a cultural and creative powerhouse with a huge heart – also known as The Peoples Factory.

Welcome to Maltfabrikken! A microbrewery and brewpub, a cosy eatery, great festival facilities, a well equipped concert room, a youth culture club, visual arts/exhibitions/crafts, an international artist residency, a public library combined with a local museum and historic archives, a creative coworking space – and much more.

Hospitality, openness, co-creation, “hygge”, community building and social inclusion via creative expression is Maltfabrikken’s DNA. Through international networks and projects Maltfabrikken is working to learn from and contribute to the diversity of cultural and creative environments in Europe and the rest of the world. Maltfabrikken is a member of the network Trans Europe Halles (TEH).
