Copenhagen Police Headquarters

The headquarters features a circular main courtyard measuring 45 meters in width, surrounded by a colonnade of 44 Doric double columns in dark grey stone.

Construction began in 1918 under architect Hack Kampmann, and after his death in 1920, his son Hans Jørgen Kampmann completed the project with Holger Jacobsen in 1924.

The building combines elements of Renaissance architecture, Roman craftsmanship, and Art Deco design, marking the final expression of Danish Neoclassicism.

Located southwest of central Copenhagen, the building houses police administration, emergency services, and radio communications for the metropolitan area.

The structure incorporates windows that open inward to maintain facade integrity, while two distinct courtyards showcase different geometric shapes and architectural elements.
