Posted Jul 20, , PM. A weekend in June I visited Copenhagen, and as usual tried to see and photograph diverse styles and districts, not only the most touristy ones.
The chimneys will be torn down. From Istedgade to Valby: Istedgade, a notorious street in Vesterbro close to the city center. It begins with hotels and tourist attractions but soon transforms into a row of sex shops, gay clubs and visible prostitution mixed, and then transforms into quarters with Arabian restaurants and shops: Kristikirken Christ Church is situated at Enghaveplads where Istedgade ends. It is built in limestone and has green details, perhaps the most exotic and special church in Greater Copenhagen.
Enghaveplads with the storey Kongens Bryghus in the background. Find all posts by Nightsky. Valby: These cozy quarters are located between Frederiksberg and Valby, close to the Carlsberg brewery. Posted Jul 21, , PM. The mighty Carlsberg brewery in the district Valby: Carlsberg HQ, built in , is the 3rd tallest highrise in Denmark.
It is 88m tall and has 22 floors. The Carlsberg complex is a mix of such diverse architectural styles as Italian renaissance, 60s moderinism and Islamic architecture. That will be presented in the following pictures. Kongens Bryghus, a residential building from The chimney of Carlsberg.
The famous elephants on the foot of the tower. And besides, the Nazi symbol is rotated 45 degrees. Before the war, the swastika often symobolized the Nordic. The Carlsberg museum also has a swastika on the top. The end of the Carlsberg complex. Posted Jul 22, , PM. Looks like quite a long walk, and enjoyable too. I like how the different types of neighbourhoods just go from one to the other without a break which would be the Stockholm style I really like the elephants, I miss stuff like that in modern architecture.
