About this tour
Since the 1960s, Billund’s development has been a close partnership between the city and LEGO®. Without LEGO, Billund might not exist as a city today. But it wasn’t always smooth. When LEGO’s founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen, began producing wooden toys, the company faced tough challenges. Fires destroyed the workshop twice, the Great Depression struck, and Ole Kirk lost his wife, leaving him alone with four sons. Despite these hardships, he kept faith in the future, grounded in his belief in God.
This resilience paid off with the invention of the LEGO plastic brick. In 1942, another fire almost drove LEGO to leave Billund, but the company chose to stay—its roots were here, and here they would remain. LEGO's faith and commitment transformed both the company and Billund.
