Varde Miniature town is the oldest historically accurate miniature town in the world.
Arnbjergparken in the center of Varde provides a beautiful setting for the impressively large mini village, where the town's approx. 300 buildings show the market town of Varde, as it looked in 1866. The houses are built according to the original drawings and each is an exact copy of the original houses in scale 1:10. Enjoy a walk on the cobbled streets and notice all the nice little details like they handmade bricks and roof tiles, door handles and chandelier in the church.
The houses are located on the streets, just as they were back in 1866. If you are known in Varde, you get a special feeling of the city when you see the streets in a manageable size before your feet. Varde town and the street course can be traced all the way back to the Middle Ages. Unfortunately, however, several city fires have caused most of the town´s buildings to be significantly younger. The houses in Varde Miniby are built according to the original drawings.
Close to the mini town on Lundvej 4A you will find the mini mason´s workshop. Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9 - 12 you can visit the mini masons and see the processes, as the deft pensioners make their "homemade" brick and mortar. The visit to the workshop is free.
Once the entrance fee is paid in Varde Miniby, you can walk around and look at the houses, play with the mini-town's play equipment, study the history in the exhibition area and enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace.
Varde Miniby is open from the beginning of May to mid October. Check the website for the exact dates. www.vardeminiby.dk
Take the family on a "mini" hike and experience Varde from above. Coffee, ice cream and souvenirs are available at the kiosk at the entrance.
