Hellebæk Textile Factory, circa 1888

Hellebæk Textile Factory (Danish: Hellebæk Klædefabrik) is a former textile factory in Hellebæk, Helsingør, Denmark. The building at Nordre Strandvej 119 was removed in the 2000s and are now let out as serviced offices.

History

Hellebæk Textile Factory painted by Carsten Henrichsen in 1874

Kronborg Rifle Factory closed in 1870. Its premises were sold to J.W. Saxtorph of Rungstedgaard. He sold it to a consortium in 1873. One of the members of the consortium was destiller Jens Levin Tvede.[1] The consortium founded Hellebæk Textile Factory on 12 April 1873 under the name Hellebæk Klæ­de- og Tæppefabrik. It was expanded with a cotton mill at Bondedammen in 1877.[2] The factory closed in 1977.[3]

Legacy

The buildings were renovated by Nordea in 2005 and are now used as serviced offices.
