Interesting, odd and intriguing buildings

These houses were all built between 1850 and 1875. It's hard to get a good sense of how small they are. They kind of remind me of the creepy old houses in Uzumaki.

1830 house in Møgeltønder

Large villas in Copenhagen designed by architect Albert Oppenheim. Pictures dated 1909 and 1912.

Late 1930s apartment building being sold for demolition on the north-east coast. Definitely one of the stranger houses I've come across. You can only hope that toilet wasn't actually plugged in like that.

The richly decorated hunting lodge at Kalø Manor, 1899. Designed by architect Hack Kampmann and artist Karl Hansen Reistrup. Picture dates unknown.

1920s farmhouse in the mid-west region. Seems eerily original.

House on Funen, constructed in 1900. Funen is really the only place in Denmark where you get half-timber construction that late.

In Copenhagen, the march toward private restrooms was slow compared to the rest of the country. The latrines were never connected to a proper sewer system, and the city's small apartments didn't leave much room for water closets, making shared facilities commonplace well into the 1970s.

No real info on this building, it's a small 1880s cottage that has been abandoned for a while. If you're into ominous aesthetics and bad vibes it's the house for you.

Perfectly preserved and extremely time-typical house constructed in 1968. These houses were mass-manufactured during the post-war economic boom. The building boom was completely unprecedented, and today buildings constructed in the 60s and 70s make up the bulk of building stock in Denmark.

The old stationhouse in Skovsgård, North Denmark region. The building was constructed in 1897 or 1910 (sources online differ). The station was one of the busiest on the Nørresundby-Fjerritslev stretch, but ceased operation in 1969 along with the rest of the Fjerritslev-Frederikshavn line. Today it's a cute house with an interior design very authentic to its history.

The building was also one of the first buildings in the city to be protected, having been listed since 1926.

Unused commercial buildings around Højer, Southern Denmark Region. These buildings were constructed between 1870 and 1900.

A house that was recently for sale on Funen. The building was constructed in the 1880s and has a remarkably well-preserved interior plan with an original laundry cauldron in the entrance area and a wood-burning stove in the kitchen. Other furnishings seem to be 1920s-1940s.

None of these buildings exist today. While the urban renewal projects of the 60s and 70s significantly improved living conditions for poorer people in Copenhagen, they still erased large chunks of the city's working-class history. It is important to remember how the practicalities of architectural preservation policy skew our perceptions of the past.
