The first Vores Sted pavilion opens in Tønder
The first 'Vores Sted' pavilion has opened in Tønder, Denmark - marking the beginning of a nationwide initiative to create 150 new community meeting places across Denmark. The project is a gift from Realdania in celebration of their 25th anniversary in 2025 and aims to foster stronger local communities.
The pavilion is built primarily from reused timber and salvaged fiber cement roofing - materials sourced from deconstructed barns, halls, and mink farms.
In Tønder, young people now have a dedicated space for music, workshops, homework, or simply hanging out - a new gathering point that is open, inclusive, and welcoming to all.
