Explore the forces for nature

At the new Visitor Centre Österild designed by CUBO, the architecture creates a unique setting for exploring the forces of nature, when giant turbines turn wind into green energy. Visitors can explore the world’s largest wind turbines placed on land and gain extensive knowledge about the wind turbine technology.

The centre is placed next to the Danish National Testing Centre where research and technology of the wind turbine industry is conducted in collaboration with DTU and other institutions, that research, develop and test prototype wind turbines and turbine technology.
