Dagmarhus, Modernist office building at Jernbanegade 2, Copenhagen, Denmark.
Dagmarhus is a modernist office building at Jernbanegade 2 in central Copenhagen. Its facade features clean lines, large windows, and geometric forms that define 1930s architecture.
Built in 1937, the structure replaced the original Dagmar Theatre on this site. From 1943 during World War II, it served as the German occupation headquarters and housed Gestapo operations in Denmark.
The building keeps the name of the former Dagmar Theatre and maintains a link to the arts through a cinema on the ground floor. Visitors passing by can still sense the role this location plays in Copenhagen's cultural life.
The building sits near Radhuspladsen square with easy access to public transportation, restaurants, and central Copenhagen attractions. It is easily reached on foot and well-connected by public transit.
A documentary film shot in 1939 captured the construction process of the building and shows the architectural transformation of this Copenhagen location. This film serves as a rare visual record of the construction work from that period.
