Nyholm Central Guardhouse, Baroque military building in Holmen, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Nyholm Central Guardhouse features a prominent ridge turret with a clock and stands at the entrance of the naval base facing the waterfront.
Naval Secretary Frederik Danneskiold-Samsøe initiated the construction of this guardhouse in 1744 to replace an older structure inside the Neptune Battery.
The building displays characteristic elements of Corps de garde architecture with its open front design, allowing guards to maintain surveillance while sheltered.
The director's office within the structure continues to serve as a reception area for official visits to Holmen Naval Base.
The clock mounted on the building in 1753 was a personal gift from King Frederick V and led to the nickname 'Under Kronen'.
