Brøste House, Neoclassical monument in Christianshavn, Denmark
The Brøste House stands at Overgaden Oven Vandet 10, featuring eight bays facing Christianshavn Canal and a black mansard roof atop its symmetrical facade.
Thomas Potter, a Scottish industrialist, established this building in 1785 to house his iron foundry operations, producing items from pots to ship anchors.
The structure represents Danish architectural preservation efforts, maintaining its protected status in the Kulturstyrelsen register since 1918.
The building currently serves as office space following its modernization in the 2000s, under the ownership of the Barfoed Group since 2011.
The property transformed from hosting multiple factories, including cloth and arrow manufacturing, before becoming the site of Thomas Potter's iron foundry operations.
