Info

Copenhagen street opens onto one of the city’s most historic squares, each section with its own name. To the left, Nytorv (new Market), which was created when the city’s old town hall was reduced to ashes in 1728, and to the right Gammeltorv (old Market), which has been a market square for some 800 years. Design buffs may like to know that the modernist corner building on the square was designed by arne Jacobsen (see page 48). Facing nytorv is the neoclassical city magistrate, designed by the very same architect, C. F. hansen (1756-1845), who rebuilt the fire-ravaged Church of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke) nearby (see page 27). In the middle of nytorv you see a granite plinth marking where the city’s gallows once stood. The last stretch of Strøget – Frederiksberggade – takes you to Copenhagen’s City Hall Square with its romantically eclectic city hall (1905) designed by Martin nyrop (1849- 1921). Like several of the buildings facing 22 cph-tourist.dk 2 15 the square, not least the palace hotel (1909), this particularly Danish flavour of the “national Romance” style draws on fluid elements of art nouveau.
