Kastrup Værk, Baroque industrial building in Tårnby Municipality, Denmark

The Kastrup Værk complex includes a limestone plant, tile works, and faience factory, with its own harbor on an artificial peninsula.

Jacob Fortling, a German sculptor who moved to Denmark in 1729, constructed the industrial complex between 1749 and 1753 for manufacturing building materials.

The building represents Danish industrial development, combining manufacturing facilities with architectural elements of the Baroque period from the 18th century.

Located between Copenhagen Airport and Amager Beach Park, the renovated complex now contains residential units and office spaces following restoration in 2008.

The facility operated its own limestone quarry on Saltholm Island, which provided essential materials for construction projects throughout Copenhagen.
