Step into the cozy Håndværkergade and travel 200 years back in time. The crooked street with nearby thatched half-timbered houses, leads you to the town square with shopping stalls. Here you get a good impression of the market town life in the first half of the 1800th century. In the houses you can see various workshops that present traditional crafts, e.g. carpenter, bookbinder, painter, hatmaker, coppersmith.
In Håndværkergaden you can also follow in Hans Christian Andersen's young footsteps and see a Latin school, like the one he went to when he lived in Slagelse.
The Latin school and the associated home are scenery that originates from DR's TV series "Young Andersen" from 2005.
The Green Urban Space - an inviting outdoor space for activities and bonfires
Come inside the Green Urban Space at Slagelse Museum. Here is open to everyone - also outside the museum's opening hours. In the urban space there is the opportunity to take a break, light a fire and see historic plants. If you want to use the campfire hut, you can buy firewood at Slagelse Museum.
The museum's voluntary garden club has i.a. landscaped raised beds with old pharmacy herbs. The first pharmacy in Slagelse was established in 1673. After a short time, the pharmacy was moved to Bredegade 8, where it remained until 1977.
