Fredericia in 1849 – Recreated in miniature
Located in the heart of Madsbyparken, the The Historical Mini Town lets you experience Fredericia as it looked in 1849, beautifully recreated at a 1:10 scale.
The Historical Mini Town is an accurate model of the fortified town of Fredericia, featuring its streets, courtyards, ramparts and historic buildings. Every structure has been carefully recreated using original drawings and historical records, capturing the town as it appeared around the time of the First Schleswig War and the Battle of Fredericia.
As you explore the miniature streets, you'll discover an extraordinary level of craftsmanship and attention to detail that brings Fredericia's history to life.
More than 700 Buildings at a 1:10 scale
The Historical Mini Town is home to more than 700 miniature buildings, each constructed at a 1:10 scale.
Using many of the same materials and traditional building techniques as full-sized houses, every miniature brick is cast, fired and laid by hand. The buildings feature remarkable details, including:
- Windows
- Chimneys
- Roof structures
- Courtyards and gardens
Each building stands in the exact location it occupied in the original town.
As you wander through the Mini Town, you'll discover miniature versions of:
- Fredericia's historic town gates
- Merchant houses and traditional townhouses
- Churches and public buildings
Sections of the town's famous ramparts
Every building tells part of Fredericia's unique story.
