Vestergade 58
Architecture
Vestergade 58 is a large half-timbered merchants house from 1761 consisting of six individual structures arranged in a square with only one building being visible from the street. The buildings have pitched roofs and whitewashed walls, painted yellow with black timber framing.
Musicians' House
In the 1960s, the educational institutions expanded and Aarhus became dominated by students and their teachers. Vestergade became a center for culture with several jazz clubs, galleries and musical instrument stores. Vestergade no. 58 became the music venue Musikernes Hus, frequented by some of the best-known names in the Danish music-scene at the time such as Jens Okking, Gnags, Thomas Helmig, Henning Stærk, Steffen Brandt and Anne Linnet. For some years Musikernes Hus was the focal point of music in Aarhus.
