Marcussen's house in Aabenraa

Marcussen's house consists of a coherent building complex, which is located around a large, cobbled courtyard.

The front house from 1723 with a gate opening onto Storegade is built together with the first side house from 1740, so that together they form an angular building. This is followed by the narrower second side house from 1744 and the even narrower third side house from 1760, which is built together with the transverse building from 1859, which spans the entire width of the site.

All these buildings are listed along with the cobbled courtyard. The front house still contains a number of baroque features, but is also characterized by classicist additions. The buildings represent a long life with changing functions and styles.

For almost 200 years, the company Marcussen & Søn has been housed in these buildings, and every floor and every room is designed with a view to the process that is set in motion when an organ is to be restored or created.

The organ building was founded in 1806 by organ builder Jürgen Marcussen on a small country estate in south of Jutland. In 1830, the company and the family moved to Aabenraa in the current buildings, which were partially rebuilt and a new workshop building was added. Today it is Denmark's oldest functioning organ builder with customers both at home and abroad.

Marcussen's house is not listed for industry but has had many functions, including as the mayor's farm.

Still, the buildings represent the early industrialization, when many small businesses were set up in back houses, basement rooms and buildings erected for other functions. These early industries were located in the middle of the city and often housed both housing, office and production premises.

Over time, much industry has moved outside the city, but not Marcussen & Søn, which also continues to be furnished with both housing and office space.
