Very interesting for all ages

FAENGSLET i Horsens er en Kulturinstitution med mange facetter. I centrum star de gamle bygninger, som siden 1853 har vaeret hjemsteddet for nogle af de mest hardkogte kriminelle hjerner. Horsens Statsfaengsel satte frem til 2006 sit praeg pa stedet. I den store hovedbygning finder man i dag Faengselsmuseet, hvor Nordeuropas storste og mest unikke faengselsamling er udstillet over 4 etager. Turistinformationen i Horsens er ligeledes at finde herpa FAENGSLET. Leder I efter et sted at holde jeres naeste store firmafest, konference eller helt specielle teambuildingoplevelser, kan FAENGSLET ogsa levere. De unikke lokaler, som den gamle Arrestafdeling, Snedkeriet eller Gl. Celle, hvor fire abne celleetager abner sig op, er ideelle til at skabe en anderledes modeoplevelse. FAENGSLET danner rammen om mange store koncerter. Bl.A. Kan Faengselsgarden bryste sig af at have lagt hus til Rasmus Seebach, Runrig, Tom Petty m.Fl., Og sommeren 2014 byder ogsa pa L.O.C. Pa det store faengselsareal vest for bygningerne har Metallica optradt, og denne plads kan ligeledes i 2014 byde pa store navne som Aerosmith og Volbeat samt "revisit" af Metallica. FAENGSLET er ogsa udlejer for mange af Horsens' interessenter. Horsens and Friends holder til i Forbygningen, og flere kunstnergrupper har ogsa vaerksted i bygningerne. Vi ser frem til at tage godt imod jer som gaester pa FAENGSLET.

Amazing interactive experience
OK, a visit to a recently closed prison did not fill me with a great deal of excitement. I mean, I've visited Port Arthur in Tasmania (Australia) and it held my interest for about 20 minutes (actually, it was a bit longer than that, but not much). However, my negative preconceptions about Faengslet were misguided. The interactive and immersive experience at Faengslet is very well done. The prison is almost brought to life. As many others have, no doubt, mentioned in their reviews, you choose a prisoner identity at the start and use an ID card to activate various personalized displays. Throughout the prison, there are projectors and sound effects in nearly every room to enhance the experience. I happened to choose Sonny Rasmussen, who had quite a few interactive events (a life sized projected image of him would tell us about his life in the prison - subtitled in English). Then there were the numerous artifacts and prisoner craft items on display throughout the museum, all of which were grouped appropriately to build a story. But the most interesting was the replica of Carl August Lorentzen 18 meter tunnel, complete with sound effects and moving silhouettes of him digging. Exceptionally well done. If you are ever in the vicinity of Horsens, make a point of visiting Faengslet Prison Museum - you will not be disappointed.

A good day with my bestfriend
I visited Fængslet together with my best friend, and we both had a really good time, unfortunately we only had about 2 hours there before they closed, so we both agree on that we have to return! So heads up folks, 2 hours for the visit is far from enough! SOOO MUCH TO SEE!!
