Havnegade
Havnegade is a waterfront promenade in central Copenhagen, Denmark, which runs between Knippelsbro and the mouth of the Nyhavn canal. Most of the street is lined with buildings from the 1860s and 1870s that were constructed as part of the redevelopment of the Gammelholm naval dockyards. It is the only place along Copenhagen's main harbourfront where residential buildings of that age face the water, although older warehouses and other industrial buildings elsewhere have been converted into residential use. The Modernist Bank of Denmark building is located at the western end of the street. History The street was created when the Royal Danish Navy decommissioned its last operations in the area, which used to be a naval shipyard, and it came under urban redevelopment. From about 1960 and until 1999, the street was a hub for tax-free ferries to Malmö on the other side of the Øresund. Plans to transform Havnegade into a promenade were put on hold in October 2008 due to budget cuts. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
