Sorte Hest, Monument and former inn in Vesterbro, Denmark
The yellow-painted masonry building with red mansard roofs holds a prominent position along Vesterbrogade street at number 148 in Vesterbro district.
Initially built in 1771 as the Golden Lion inn, the structure served travelers who could not enter Copenhagen before the city gates closed at sunset.
The theater next to the building, Teatret ved Sorte Hest, presents performances in Danish and English, contributing to Copenhagen's performing arts scene.
The renovated complex now contains apartments on upper floors, while the ground level houses retail establishments, including a bakery and cafe.
The structure remains the oldest building in Vesterbro and forms part of four historical inns known as 'Horses' along Copenhagen's western access road.
