Dansk Sojakagefabrik, Industrial heritage site at Islands Brygge, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Dansk Sojakagefabrik factory processed soybeans into animal feed and cooking oil through its large-scale production facilities on the Copenhagen waterfront.
Established in 1909 by shipping company ØK, the factory employed 1,200 workers in the 1950s and operated until a devastating explosion in 1980 led to its closure.
The transformation of Dansk Sojakagefabrik into residential spaces exemplifies Copenhagen's shift from industrial manufacturing to modern urban development.
The former factory buildings now house the Gemini Residence apartments, offering waterfront living spaces with direct access to Copenhagen harbor activities.
A massive explosion at the factory in July 1980 caused damages worth 200 million DKK and marked the beginning of the end for industrial operations.
