HOUSE OF CULTURE
The beautiful building of Andelen hails from 1898, originally serving as Ærøskøbing's cooperative granary. In 1969, Andelen was converted into a residence, an art gallery and a music venue by Erik Vilhelm Sørensen and his family. In 1970, the renowned Danish composer and pianist Niels Viggo Bentzon played the inaugural concert, heralding in a new era for Andelen. The concert was a great success and the first of many to come.
Over the years, Andelen has carved out an identity as a house of culture. It has played host to many notable jazz concerts and important social events.
