Hakkemose Brickworks

Inventor and mechanic Johannes Peter Langgaard purchased the farm Hakkemose at Taastrup in 1847 and founded the brickyard at the site on 10 November that same year.

[1] Langgaard had studied the latest technological trends in Germany and constructed a machine for the production of bricks.

Langgaard passed away in 1890 and his heirs sold the brickyard to a British consortium in 1895.

Morten Korch was managing director of the factory from October 1909 to September 1911.

[4] The sculptures on the facade and Countess Danner's coat of arms at Jægerspris Castle was also produced at Hakkemose Brickworks.
