Hammermøllen

Hammermøllen in Hellebæk Parish is a historical site that was once a water-powered mill. It was one of seven water mills that, along with the workshops in Bøssemagergade, made up the Kronborg Gun Factory. This historical context provides a unique insight into the industrial history of the area.

The Mill's Historical Timeline

The first water mill in Hellebæk was built as a grain mill in 1576, marking the beginning of the area's industrial history. In 1601, weapon production began in the newly established hammer mill in the center of Hellebæk, further cementing its industrial significance. The current mill, which dates from 1765, stands as a testament to this rich history.
