Brickworks, Odense
A small creative brick studio in southern Odense where Danish design spirit meets hands-on LEGO-style imagination in a low-key, family-friendly setting.
Tucked away on Sejerskovvej in southern Odense, Brickworks is an intimate creative hub where Denmark’s deep connection to LEGO bricks and playful design comes to life. Housed in a modest industrial-style setting, it focuses on imaginative building, custom brick creations and small-scale events, with a strong local, family-friendly feel. This is less a polished visitor attraction and more a niche stop for curious brick fans, creative families and anyone fascinated by Danish brick culture.

Local tips
- Plan Brickworks as a short, focused stop of around one hour, then combine it with time in Odense’s historic centre or parks for a fuller day out.
- Check ahead for any special events or workshops; these can significantly enhance the experience and may change opening patterns or space available.
- Bring a camera with a good close-up mode to capture the fine details and building techniques in the displayed models and constructions.
- If visiting with younger children, set clear expectations that this is a working creative space rather than a large theme park-style attraction.
- Wear comfortable clothing and layers; the interior is simple and functional, and temperatures can feel slightly cooler or warmer depending on the season.

A tucked-away corner of Odense creativity
Brickworks sits quietly in a light industrial stretch of Odense S, far from the city’s grand museums and historic churches. From the outside, it looks unassuming: a functional building amid warehouses and workshops, with clean Scandinavian lines and little fuss. Step closer, though, and you notice hints of playfulness – bright bricks in window displays, pops of colour against the neutral facade, and a low-key buzz of activity inside. Unlike major theme parks or large museums, this is a compact, working space devoted to the world of bricks and model building. Its atmosphere is part studio, part workshop, part local gathering place, with shelves, tables and workbenches where ideas slowly transform into finished creations.Inside a working brick and model studio
The interior balances practicality and creativity. Expect sturdy tables, storage units full of sorted elements and in-progress models carefully staged on sideboards or high shelves. You may glimpse staff focusing on intricate builds, adjusting designs or packing elements for upcoming projects and events. This is not an immersive attraction with rides and soundtracks; instead you encounter the quieter side of brick culture, where planning, prototyping and patient construction take centre stage. The overall feel is friendly but purposeful, more like an open studio than a conventional gallery.LEGO heritage and Danish design spirit
Denmark’s bond with LEGO, and with brick-building more broadly, runs deep, and Brickworks taps into that tradition. The emphasis on clean lines, smart use of colour and thoughtful detailing echoes broader Danish design values. Even small display pieces often highlight clever structural solutions, surprising angles or subtle visual jokes. Occasional larger builds, when present, showcase how playful models can still follow principles of good architecture and engineering. You might see miniature cityscapes, stylised vehicles or characterful creatures that balance whimsy and precision, inviting slow, close-up viewing rather than quick snapshots.A niche stop for families and enthusiasts
For most visitors, Brickworks works best as a short, focused stop rather than a half-day destination. Families with brick-obsessed children, adult fans of building, and travellers curious about Danish creative industries will get the most from lingering here. Time passes quickly as you study model details, notice building tricks and chat, when possible, with staff about techniques and materials. The small scale contributes to a relaxed, low-pressure atmosphere. There is space to move around, look without rushing and let children point out their favourite parts. If the space hosts a workshop or special activity, it can feel more animated, but it generally remains calm and manageable.Surroundings and combining with wider Odense
The setting in Odense S makes Brickworks easy to fold into a broader day exploring the city. The area is primarily practical and local rather than scenic, which heightens the contrast once you return to Odense’s historic centre, leafy parks and riverfront paths. Think of this stop as a brief detour into the backstage world of brick creativity between more traditional sightseeing. A short visit can complement time spent at cultural institutions or family attractions elsewhere in Odense, rounding out your understanding of how play, design and craftsmanship intersect in contemporary Denmark.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
