The ULI Denmark Young Leaders Executive Committee is pleased to invite you to an exclusive tour of Vridsløselille Fængsel on Wednesday, June 4th where we will drive in a bus from Nordhavn.

This extraordinary event offers a rare opportunity to step inside the historic walls of Vridsløselille Prison, a place steeped in stories of justice, rebellion, and transformation. Led by a former guard who has witnessed firsthand the building’s evolution and the many chapters that have unfolded within it, the tour will provide insight into the architecture, history, and the dramatic events that have shaped the prison's legacy.

Whether you're fascinated by the building's unique role in Danish history or intrigued by the personal stories of those who have lived and worked within its confines, this tour promises an engaging and thought-provoking experience.

Please note that due to the venue’s capacity limitations, attendance will be restricted, so early registration is recommended. Additionally, the event will be conducted in Danish.

We look forward to welcoming you to this unforgettable exploration of one of Denmark’s most storied institutions that is now facing major reconversion into a new residential neighborhood in Albertslund.

We have arranged shared bus transportation to Albertslund from Nordhavn departing at 15:30 and returning approximately 19:30 (depending on traffic). We will meet by the Meny on Southamptongade. If you wish to arrange your own transportation, you can meet us in front of the green prison gate.

Please note that this event is in Danish.

ULI Denmark Young Leaders Executive Committee inviterer til en eksklusiv rundvisning i Vridsløselille Fængsel onsdag den 4. juni. For at gøre transporten så bekvem som muligt, kører vi samlet i bus fra Nordhavn.

Denne begivenhed giver et sjældent indblik indenfor de historiske mure i Vridsløselille Fængsel – et sted, der rummer fortællinger om retfærdighed, oprør og forandring. Rundvisningen guides af en tidligere fængselsbetjent, som kan dele de mange dramatiske begivenheder, der har udspillet sig både indenfor og udenfor fængslet.

Uagtet om du er fascineret af bygningens betydning i dansk historie eller nysgerrig efter at høre personlige beretninger fra dem, der har levet og arbejdet her, vil denne rundvisning give en engagerende og tankevækkende oplevelse.

Bemærk venligst, at der er begrænset kapacitet grundet stedets begrænsninger, så tidlig tilmelding anbefales. Derudover vil arrangementet blive afholdt på dansk.

Vi ser frem til at byde dig velkommen til denne uforglemmelige oplevelse i en af Danmarks mest ikoniske institutioner, som nu står over for en større omdannelse til et nyt boligområde i Albertslund.

Vi har arrangeret fælles bustransport til Albertslund fra Nordhavn med afgang kl. 15.30 og forventet retur ca. kl. 19.30 (afhængigt af trafikken). Vi mødes ved Meny på Southamptongade. Hvis du ønsker at stå for transporten selv, kan du møde os foran den grønne fængselsport.

En stor tak til A. Enggaard for deres gæstfrihed.
