De Ovale Haver

The De Ovale Haver consists of forty oval-shaped gardens arranged on a rolling lawn, each measuring approximately 25 by 15 meters.

Landscape architect C.Th. Sørensen created this garden layout in 1948 between public housing and traditional allotments, introducing a new approach to community spaces.

Each garden owner maintains individual freedom to position cottages and select hedges while adhering to the collective design principles of the community.

The gardens remain protected under Danish heritage laws since 1991, ensuring their preservation while allowing current residents to maintain their plots.

The elliptical layout creates distinct garden islands separated by grass paths, forming a geometric pattern visible from aerial perspectives.
