Ã…boulevard
Åboulevard ( lit. "River Boulevard") is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark. Together with H. C. Andersens Boulevard in the city centre and Borups Allé, it forms a major artery in and out of the city. The road is built over Ladegårds Å, a canal originally built to supply Copenhagen with water, which still runs in a pipe under it, feeding water into Peblinge Lake. History The canal was dug during the late Middle Ages to supply Copenhagen with drinking water from Damhus Lake and from about 1550 also Lundehus Lake. The name Ladegårdså (Ladegårds Å, Ladegårdsåen) originates from Ladegården, a farm under Copenhagen Castle which was located on the south bank of the stream, roughly where the Radio House is today. It was built in 1623 to provide produce for the royal household and feed for the royal mews but was never a success. The complex was later converted into first a military hospice and later a poorhouse with an associated textile manufactory. A road on the ...

Bethlehem Church, Copenhagen
Bethlehem Church ( da, Bethlehemskirken) is a church in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark, located on Åboulevard, close to The Lakes, Copenhagen, Peblinge Lake and the municipal border with Frederiksberg. Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint made the first sketches for the church but after his death it was completed by his son, Kaare Klint, and built from 1935 to 1937. Its style is remniscient of Grundtvig's Church, Jensen Klint's most famous work, which was also completed posthumously by Kaare Klint, although on a much smaller scale. History Bethlehem Church is one of many churches in Copenhagen built by the Copenhagen Church Trust, founded in 1890 to collect money and build new churches in the rapidly growing Danish capital, and Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint was charged with the design. He had already designed Anna Church, Copenhagen, Anna Church and the monumental Grundtvig's Church in Copenhagen as well as Gedser Church on the island og Falster and Church of the Holy Peace, Ode ...

Jagtvej
Jagtvej ( lit. "Hunt Road") is a major artery in the Nørrebro and Østerbro districts of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Ågade on the border with Frederiksberg in the southwest to Østerbrogade in the northeast, linking Falkoner Allé with Strandboulevarden. The street passes Assistens Cemetery, University of Copenhagen's North Campus and Fælled Park. History The road originates in a track which was established in the 1660s to enable royal hunting parties to travel more easily from Frederiksberg Palace to Jægersborg Deer Garden and Frederiksborg Castle in North Zealand. The so-called Demarcation Line, which enforced a no-built zone outside Copenhagen's fortifications, was moved to the track in 1682.

The road extended from the Royal Falconry and was initially reserved for members of the royal court but later ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
