Winding Chimney, Industrial chimney in Carlsberg Byen, Denmark
The Winding Chimney rises 56 meters high with an octagonal base, decorated brick patterns, and a top shaped like an Egyptian lotus flower.
Built in 1900 under architect Vilhelm Dahlerup's direction, this chimney served the operations of the Carlsberg brewery during Copenhagen's industrial development.
The gargoyles at the top of the structure draw inspiration from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, reflecting European architectural influences in Danish industrial design.
Located at Franciska Clausens Plads between Pasteurs Tårn and Europaskolen, the chimney stands as a protected monument in the transformed brewery district.
The brick ornamentation creates a spiral pattern along the chimney's length, demonstrating how industrial structures can incorporate decorative architectural elements.
