In the Mini City you can experience almost 100 buildings from Maribo's old town as it looked in the years 1850 to 1900.
All the houses are built in a 1:10 ratio using the same materials as the original buildings, i.e. mini bricks, tiles, oak woodwork, etc. by skilled - and patient - mini masons.
The biggest task these years is the construction of Maribo Cathedral. It takes 8-10 years for the mini masons to recreate the cathedral. More than 100,000 monk stones and 50,000 roof tiles are produced for the construction. The construction takes place in a large covered building and the work can be followed during a visit to the mini city exhibition.
All work and maintenance of the houses takes place at the Mini City workshop, located in a separate building, where volunteer "mini-masons" make everything from bricks and roof tiles to doors and windows to exact measurements by hand.
