Langelinie Pavilion

The Langelinie Pavilion is a modern restaurant building with a glass facade and steel support columns positioned along Copenhagen's waterfront. The structure spans three floors with varying spaces designed to accommodate different group sizes and activities.

The original pavilion was destroyed by German forces in 1944, after which architects Eva and Nils Koppel won a competition to design its replacement. The current building was completed in 1958 and represents a turning point in modern Danish architecture.

The interior displays Danish design pieces, including mosaics by Else Alfelt and Poul Henningsen's Artichoke lamps created specifically for this space. These artworks shape how visitors experience the venue and connect to Denmark's postwar design heritage.

The building has multiple entry points and is easily accessible from the street, with outdoor areas to relax by the water. Visitors should note that offerings vary by season and planned events at the venue.

The building draws inspiration from Mies van der Rohe's design principles and combines reinforced concrete with expansive glass surfaces in an innovative way. This pairing of materials and minimalism was groundbreaking for Denmark in the 1950s.
