Hi there! Today, I'm going to tell you all about something called Gasværket. Gasværket is a big place that used to be very important. But before we get into that, let's talk about gas.
You probably know what gas is. Maybe you use it to make your balloon go "pop" or to cook with on a stove. Well, long, long ago, people didn't have gas like we do now. They had to make gas themselves! They did this by taking things like coal or wood and heating them up in a special way.
When they did this, a gas would come out of the coal or wood. This gas was very important because it could be used to make things like lights work. Without gas, people would have to use candles or oil lamps to see at night.
The place we're talking about, Gasværket, was one of these places where people made gas from coal. It was a big, big factory that had lots of big machines and workers who would make the gas. And, of course, there was also a lot of coal!
Gasværket was really important because it helped make it possible for people to have lights in their homes at night. But eventually, people found other ways to make gas that were more efficient and less polluting. So, Gasværket isn't used to make gas anymore. But it's still there, and people can visit it to learn about what it was like to live in the olden days when gas was made by hand.
So, that's Gasværket! It's a big place where people used to make gas from coal a long, long time ago. It helped make lights possible and was really important back then. And now people can visit it to learn about the past!
