Niverød Brickworks
Niverød Brickworks (Danish: ), also known as P. Koefod's Brickworks (Danish: ) and Simondsen's Brickworks (Danish: ), was one of four brickworks located at Nivå on the Øresund coast north of Copenhagen, Denmark. Nivå Marina is located in one of its former clay pits. History Niverød Brickworks was established in Niverød Strandmose in 1838. Lerbjerggaard Brickworks opened at a site just west of the brickyard in 1854 and Sølyst Brickworks opened on an adjacent site to the west in 1856. Niverød Brickworks was owned by Christian Gottfried Lendorff for a while but struggled economically and was sold in 1862 at compulsory auction. Lendorff then emigrated to Australia. Niverød and Lerbjerggaard brickworks were merged into one company in 1863. A narrow-gauge railway to Nivå Station was constructed in 1907–1908 and remained in use until c. 1930. In 1911, Niverød Brickworks was acquired by Harald Simonsen Harald Simonsen (2 August 1873 – 3 February 1949) was a Danish timber ...

Danish Language
Danish (; , ) is a North Germanic language spoken by about six million people, principally in and around Denmark. Communities of Danish speakers are also found in Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the northern German region of Southern Schleswig, where it has minority language status. Minor Danish-speaking communities are also found in Norway, Sweden, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina. Along with the other North Germanic languages, Danish is a descendant of Old Norse, the common language of the Germanic peoples who lived in Scandinavia during the Viking Era. Danish, together with Swedish, derives from the ''East Norse'' dialect group, while the Middle Norwegian language (before the influence of Danish) and Norwegian Bokmål are classified as ''West Norse'' along with Faroese and Icelandic. A more recent classification based on mutual intelligibility separates modern spoken Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as "mainland (or ''continental'') Scandinavian", while I ...

Øresund
Øresund or Öresund (, ; da, Øresund ; sv, Öresund ), commonly known in English as the Sound, is a strait which forms the Danish–Swedish border, separating Zealand (Denmark) from Scania (Sweden). The strait has a length of ; its width varies from to . It is wide at its narrowest point between Helsingør in Denmark and Helsingborg in Sweden. Øresund, along with the Great Belt, the Little Belt and the Kiel Canal, is one of four waterways that connect the Baltic Sea to the Atlantic Ocean via Kattegat, Skagerrak, and the North Sea; this makes it one of the busiest waterways in the world. The Øresund Bridge, between the Danish capital Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö, inaugurated on 1 July 2000, connects a bi-national metropolitan area with close to 4 million inhabitants. The HH Ferry route, between Helsingør, Denmark and Helsingborg, Sweden, in the northern part of Øresund, is one of the world's busiest international ferry routes, with more than 70 departures ...

Copenhagen
Copenhagen ( or .; da, København ) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark, with a proper population of around 815.000 in the last quarter of 2022; and some 1.370,000 in the urban area; and the wider Copenhagen metropolitan area has 2,057,142 people.

Clay Pit
A clay pit is a quarry or mine for the extraction of clay, which is generally used for manufacturing pottery, bricks or Portland cement. Quarries where clay is mined to make bricks are sometimes called brick pits. A brickyard or brickworks is often located alongside a clay pit to reduce the transport costs of the raw material. Today, pottery producers are often not sited near the source of their clay and usually do not own the clay deposits. In these industries, the other essential raw material is fuel for firing and potteries may be located near to fuel sources. Former claypits are sometimes filled with water and used for recreational purposes such as sailing and scuba diving. The Eden Project at Bodelva near St Austell, Cornwall, UK is a major redevelopment of a former china clay (kaolin) pit for educational and environmental purposes.

Nivaagaard Brickworks
Nivaagaard Brickworks (Danish: Nivaagaards Teglværk) was one of two major brickworks at Nivå in North Zealand, Denmark. Its former Hoffmann kiln was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1985 and is now operated as a museum under the name Ringovnen. History One of the farms in the village of Nive was in 1707 closed down by Queen Louise and the site was instead used for the establishment of a brickworks which was used for manufacturing bricks for the construction of Hirschholm Palace. The brickyard was after a while leased by master mason Lars Eriksen (born 1753). It returned to the crown after his death but was after a few years then leased by tanner Hans Peter Frode from Helsingør. In 1765, it was ceded to Jørgen Birch in return for the payment of an annual fee "as long as the necessary materials for the operation of the brickyard was available at the site". The next owner was Jacob Kielskov. He was in 1781 exempted from payment of the annual f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Narrow-gauge Railway
A narrow-gauge railway (narrow-gauge railroad in the US) is a railway with a track gauge narrower than standard-gauge railway, standard . Most narrow-gauge railways are between and . Since narrow-gauge railways are usually built with Minimum railway curve radius, tighter curves, smaller structure gauges, and lighter rails, they can be less costly to build, equip, and operate than standard- or broad-gauge railways (particularly in mountainous or difficult terrain). Lower-cost narrow-gauge railways are often used in mountainous terrain, where engineering savings can be substantial. Lower-cost narrow-gauge railways are often built to serve industries as well as sparsely populated communities where the traffic potential would not justify the cost of a standard- or broad-gauge line. Narrow-gauge railways have specialised use in mines and other environments where a small structure gauge necessitates a small loading gauge. In some countries, narrow gauge is the standard; Japan, Indone ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nivå Station
Nivå station is a railway station serving the suburb of Nivå on the coast of North Zealand north of central Copenhagen, Denmark, as well as the nearby Nivaagaard Art Gallery.
