Circus Building, Entertainment venue in Copenhagen, Denmark
The circular Circus Building stands at Axel Torv with a shallow dome and features a decorative frieze depicting ancient Roman and Greek motifs.
Danish architect Henrik Vilhelm Brinkopff designed this historicist structure in 1886, creating a permanent center for circus performances and theatrical entertainment in Copenhagen.
The venue transformed from a traditional circus arena to a modern entertainment complex, now operated by Wallmans salonger for dinner shows and performances.
Located in central Copenhagen, the building maintains modern technical facilities while preserving its nineteenth-century architectural elements for various entertainment productions.
The frieze below the roof, created by sculptor Frederik Hammeleff, displays classical motifs that reflect the building's connection to ancient performance traditions.
