Christiansholm, Former naval islet in Copenhagen Harbor, Denmark

The artificial island extends across the harbor waters with four sides surrounded by water, featuring industrial buildings and maritime structures from different periods.

Created in 1696 by Captain Motzmann for shipyard purposes, the island transformed through various functions including military hospital, naval arsenal, and paper storage facility.

The industrial heritage remains visible through the 1909 building, while recent developments include spaces for creative companies and cultural activities.

The location serves as a connection point between different parts of Copenhagen harbor, with plans for neighborhood development announced in 2012.

The island experienced multiple transformations, from gunpowder manufacturing facility to coal storage depot, marking significant changes in Copenhagen's maritime infrastructure.
