Elvirasminde ( Lit. Elvira's Memory) or Chokoladefabrikken (English: The Chocolate Factory) is a building complex and former factory in Aarhus, Denmark. Elvirasminde was built in 1912 by designs from the architect Christian Frühstück Nielsen. The factory was one of the many industrial enterprises that were established in the city in the early 20th century and the buildings represent the industrial architecture of the time. It is situated on Klostergade in the historic Latin Quarter neighborhood and today houses small upstarts and a number of creative businesses such as architect companies.
The buildings are named after the chocolate manufacturer Elvirasminde which built and was based in the buildings until the 1960s. The factory was in turn named after Elvira, the late wife of the founder.
