A Cultural Powerhouse
Kolding is known as a city and municipality that values creativity and culture highly. The iconic Koldinghus castle stands as a testament to a long and rich history, while modern cultural landmarks like Trapholt Museum and Design School Kolding put us on the international map.

The municipality is home to around 95,000 people, with approximately 63,000 inhabitants living in Kolding city. We take pride in having a vibrant cultural life that fosters both community spirit and local pride. There is room for both large performances and local initiatives that bring people together across generations.


Creativity and Sustainability
In Kolding Municipality, we live by the vision: "Together, we design life". This means we focus on innovative and sustainable solutions that improve daily life for our inhabitants while creating memorable experiences. Our ambition is to be among Denmark’s greenest municipalities, and we actively work toward sustainable development across culture, business and nature.

Creativity also plays a central role in our schools and so-called culture school, where children and young people can explore their talents in music, art and drama. This helps ensure a solid foundation for the artists and cultural practitioners of the future.

Beautiful Surroundings and Strong Communities
Kolding Municipality is surrounded by stunning nature. From the fjord and beaches near Skærbæk to the peaceful atmosphere along Kolding Å and the many green spaces throughout the area. Here, culture and nature meet, providing space for reflection, play and discovery.

Our local communities are strong, and we are excited to invite both local inhabitants and guests to experience what Kolding has to offer when we set the stage for the KLAP – Theatre for Young Audiences.
