Niverød Brickworks

[1] Niverød Brickworks was owned by Christian Gottfried Lendorff for a while but struggled economically and was sold in 1862 at compulsory auction.

A narrow-gauge railway to Nivå Station was constructed in 1907–1908 and remained in use until c.

[1] In the early 1900s, when the clay deposits on land had nearly been exhausted, Niverød and Sølyst brickworks obtained a license to extract clay from the sea bed and a dyke was therefore constructed.

in 1930, water broke through the dyke during a storm, flooding the clay pit.

A pier from c. 1750 was partly destroyed by ice heave in February 1933 but remains of it can still be seen today.
