Vestre Gasværk, Industrial heritage site in Vesterbro, Denmark
The Vestre Gasværk operated at the location of the current Meat-Packing District, marking Copenhagen's first municipal gas production facility.
Opening in 1857, the gasworks supplied energy to Copenhagen until 1927, establishing the foundation for the city's industrial development.
The industrial facility influenced the development of Gasværksvej street and shaped the urban landscape of the Vesterbro district.
The site transformed into the Meat-Packing District after closure, with nearby public transportation available at Copenhagen Central Station.
A tunnel beneath the railway line connected different sections of the gasworks complex, demonstrating industrial engineering of the period.
