The set construction was heavily influenced by production designer Erik Aaes's original visions for the Matador series.
The buildings are built to full scale, housing active restaurant venues that serve period-inspired Danish cuisine.
It is located within Bakken, which holds the title of the world's oldest operating amusement park, dating back to 1583.
Many of the interior details, including tableware and decor, were sourced to match the specific aesthetic of the Matador TV production.
The project was a collaborative effort to bring the fictional town of Korsbæk to life in a permanent physical format.
Korsbæk Bakken is a meticulously recreated town set within the Dyrehavsbakken amusement park, designed to mirror the fictional setting of the beloved Danish television series Matador. The attraction features detailed period-accurate storefronts, including Postgården and Katrine's Kitchen, allowing visitors to walk through the world of the 1930s-1940s. It functions as an immersive dining and experiential environment rather than a traditional museum display. Guests can interact with staff dressed in historical costumes to deepen the thematic experience. The site serves as both a restaurant destination and a cultural homage to Denmark's most famous television drama.
The main town square, specifically near the Postgården entrance, provides the most iconic view of the set.
