About Laesø Saltworks:

Laesø Saltworks started out as a historical workshop in 1991 to keep young, unemployed locals busy.

The idea was born when remains of some medieval saltworks were found during a series of archaeological excavations on the island.

In 2004, the economy was so steady that Laesø Saltworks turned from workshop into workplace and now has ten full-time employees, with an additional eight people during the busier summer period.

Laesø Saltworks welcomes 90,000 tourists a year and offers free guided tours and other activities from April to October.
