Candy Museum

New on the farm

In summer 2009 the candy museum opened its doors.

In our Museum you will get to know everything about candy:
History, traditions and manufacturing.

Candymaking in Denmark has a long tradition. Even today it is still a custom, that danish families make hard candy and lollipops together. Big fun for children and adults.

As in Germany hard candy was made by the help of "candy making machines" and "cylinders", the classic hard candy, the "bolsje" as it is called in danish, was made and still is made by hand. The manufacturing of these "rocks" or "rockets" is almost forgotten beyond danish borders.

Candy making machines, as you can see it on the right hand side, were not in use in Denmark and were hardly known. In our museum you can experience how hard candy was made a hundred years ago by candy cylinders in candy making machines. Our machines are over a hundred years old and even our recipes are.

Further more you can find out everything about clear toy candy moulds and see how clear toy candy is handmade by the help of almost one hundred year old moulds.

For our exhibition we could get antique moulds by chocolatemould- and tinfactory Anton Reiche / Dresden, which were used to make pralines and fine chocolates between 1890 and 1930 in Adolph F. Weber's "Candyparadise" in Milwaukee/Wisconsin/USA.
