The home of the Copenhagen Police
Copenhagen Police Headquarters (Politigården) is located centrally in Copenhagen and serves as the headquarters for Copenhagen Police.
Constructed between 1918 and 1924 in a classical minimalism style, the building features large rectangular windows, a uniform dark stone facade, a large round courtyard, and prominent entrances, giving it a solid and recognizable appearance. Inside, the building houses offices, meeting rooms, and detention areas supporting the daily work of the police. The building is both functional and a striking architectural element in the cityscape, conveying authority and public presence in the heart of Copenhagen.

Copenhagen Police Headquarters may appear simple from the outside, as its most impressive architectural details are found in the large circular courtyard, which is unfortunately not open to the public. As a result, the best publicly accessible view is the front facade facing Polititorvet.
