Landemærket

Historic colorful street in Copenhagen

Landemærket is a short but historically significant street in Copenhagen’s Inner City, running from Købmagergade to Gothersgade.

 

Its name reflects the street’s former role as the boundary between the built-up city and the open countryside outside the city walls at the end of the 16th century. The charming, colorful houses at the street’s end near Kings Garden provide a lovely alternative to the famous colorful buildings of Nyhavn, offering a chance to enjoy vibrant and picturesque architecture in a quieter setting. Situated away from the busy pedestrian streets and main roads, Landemærket is a hidden gem, known to only a few. The street also features cultural landmarks and, with its central location, contributes to Copenhagen’s historic atmosphere.
