The port was established in the late 1890s to fulfill the demands of the industry and the ability to ship granite to large building projects in Hamburg and Copenhagen.

The Castle sits on a spectacular position 80 meters above the Baltic and Hammerhavn. The multipurpose buildings are situated in the middle of this cultural- and historic landscape with direct visual contact to the ruin, as well as the hilly and spectacular nature surrounding the site.

By sloping the roofs in the direction of the neighboring attractions attention are directing towards these. Certain point de vûe’s are framed by the Buildings, and as the buildings and surrounding surfaces are clad in the same azobé-wooden material a calm and pleasant atmosphere is promoted. The homogeneous azobécladding of the facades and roofs of the 3 small houses makes a sculptural appearance towards the sea.

A building for kanoes and sailing equipment is also being built.
