Vejle is a small Danish town on the Jutland Peninsula, at the head of the Vejle Fjord. It’s best known for stunning landscape in the surrounding area but it also happens to be an emerging centre for contemporary architecture, with some of Denmark’s largest architecture firms designing new landmark buildings in the city.
Below is the MUST-SEE Architecture in Vejle. I hope you find it useful as you cycle its beautiful streetscape (there’s a map at the bottom to guide you around). As you see with the date at the top, this list is always updating as new projects are completed. If you want to see your photo featured, hashtag #AVONTUURA on Instagram and I will try my best to include it.
Onwards!
