Panoptikonbygningen, Office building in central Copenhagen, Denmark
The Panoptikonbygningen rises 35 meters with 12 floors near Copenhagen Central Station, featuring a glass facade and wooden walls supported by freestanding columns.
From 1952 until 1954, this structure stood as Denmark's only skyscraper, marking a transition in the architectural landscape of post-war Copenhagen.
The building name comes from Skandinavisk Panoptikon, Denmark's first wax museum that operated at this location from 1885 until its destruction by fire in 1950.
Located at Vesterbrogade 5, the building serves as headquarters for Arbejdernes Landsbank and underwent substantial renovation in 2016 to update its facilities.
The gable facing Vesterbrogade displays a distinctive cladding made of folk marble, a special composite of reinforced concrete cast in white cement.
