Hostrups Have

Hostrups Have is a residential complex in Frederiksberg comprising three five-story brick structures with granite detailing and about 680 apartments. Each unit includes a balcony and the estate incorporates commercial spaces across its expansive grounds.

Construction of the complex began in 1935 when Prime Minister Thorvald Stauning laid the foundation stone at the site of the former Rubens textile factory. This project marked the transformation of an industrial area into a residential neighborhood.

The central garden features two sculptures that commemorate important figures in Danish arts, including a 1937 work by sculptor Gunnar Hammerich and a representation of actor Poul Reumert. These artworks remain visible parts of daily life within the complex.

The complex connects easily to nearby metro stations and offers various on-site services and amenities. The integrated infrastructure within the grounds makes navigation straightforward for residents and visitors.

Several notable Danish figures made their home here, including future Prime Minister Jens Otto Krag and furniture designer Børge Mogensen. Their residency connected the place to important cultural and political developments of the mid-twentieth century.
