Dansk Sojakagefabrik, Industrial heritage site at Islands Brygge, Copenhagen, Denmark
This waterfront site in Copenhagen was once a large-scale facility that processed soybeans into animal feed and cooking oil for distribution across markets. The industrial structures have been redeveloped into the Gemini Residence apartments, creating homes with direct harbor access.
Founded in 1909 by shipping company ØK, the factory became a major employer at Copenhagen's harbor for several decades. Industrial operations ceased following a significant incident in the 1980s that led to its eventual closure.
The name reflects Denmark's once-significant role in soybean processing for European markets. The buildings still carry traces of their industrial past in their sturdy architecture and waterfront setting.
The site is mostly private residential space today and not open for general tours, though the exterior architecture is visible from nearby waterfront paths. The location is easily reached on foot or by bicycle from central Copenhagen along the harbor promenade.
The site was noted for processing soybeans at a massive scale, a distinctive operation in Copenhagen's harbor that provided work for hundreds of people throughout the 1900s. The waterfront location and robust construction today stand as reminders of when the facility bustled with industrial activity daily.
