CeresByen (English: CeresCity) is a neighbourhood in Midtbyen, a district of the city of Aarhus, Denmark. It is a mixed residential and commercial area, comprising the site of the former Ceres Brewery operating here from 1856 until November 2008. The outer edges of CeresByen are defined by the streets Thorvaldsensgade, Silkeborgvej, Dollerupvej and Ceres Allé. [1] [2]

Contents

The neighbourhood is characterized by densely situated apartment buildings, high-rises, and an open public park along the Aarhus River. Architecturally, the area is modern while taking into account a few remaining and listed historic 19th century buildings of the former Ceres Brewery. The height has been kept relatively low, due to the proximity of nearby open-air museum Den Gamle By, and underground carparks have been constructed to save precious space. The Ceres Panorama residential building, completed in 2016, is one of the tallest in the city. [3]

History

Royal Unibrew closed the Ceres Brewery in 2008 which opened a large tract of land in central Aarhus. The city council elected to rezone the area and re-establish it as a new neighbourhood. The architectural firm Arkitema won the bidding round; construction began in 2013, and by its scheduled completion in 2019, the area will be home to 2000 inhabitants and educational institutions for 5000 students. The first phase was completed in 2015 when the VIA University College campus was completed and in August of the same year the first residents moved into apartment complexes. [4]

Architecture of Aarhus

The architecture of Aarhus comprises numerous architectural styles and works from the Middle Ages to present-day. Aarhus has a well-preserved medieval city center with the oldest dwellings dating back to the mid-1500s and some ecclesiastical structures such as St. Clemen's Cathedral and numerous smaller churches that can be traced back to the 1100s.
