More than just a room
From old workshop to charming party venue
Centralværkstedet in Aarhus was built in 1862 as part of DSB's large workshop area where trains were repaired and maintained. For more than 100 years, the halls buzzed with life, innovation and craftsmanship until the workshops were closed in the 1990s.
Today, the beautifully preserved buildings are the setting for unforgettable parties and events - where the raw brick walls, iron structures and impressive ceiling heights tell the story of another time.
Here, industrial history and modern comfort merge in an atmosphere that cannot be found anywhere else in Aarhus.
The garden - a green oasis in the middle of Aarhus
Between Smedien and Centralværkstedet you will find our cozy courtyard - a green breathing space in the middle of Aarhus. Olive trees, herbs and small seating areas create a relaxed atmosphere where your guests can enjoy a break under open sky.
If you choose to combine both venues, the courtyard acts as the perfect link - a natural link between the different party spaces, adding extra life and flow to your event.
Food experiences that bring your guests together
At Comwell Centralværkstedet, we offer flexible solutions to make your party exactly the way you want it. Our skilled chefs put together delicious party menus based on seasonal ingredients and a high gastronomic level - rooted in our Nordic food concept.
The meat is sourced from Grambogård, and here the ingredients are allowed to speak for themselves. From crisp, green salads and juicy slow-roasted meat to airy desserts with fresh acidity and crunch - we create taste experiences that will complete your party.
Of course, we take special requests and dietary requirements into account so that all your guests can enjoy the food - from welcome snacks to late-night snacks.
