Tårnborgvej

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tårnborgvej is a dead end street extending from the northside of Gammel Kongevej, one block East of H. C. Ørsteds Vej, in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark.

History

[edit]

The street takes its name after Villa Tårnborg, a house located at the corner of Gammel Kongevej and H. C. Ørstedsvej, which was designed by Johan Daniel Herholdt for his sister and brother-in-law A. C.B. Bibow in 1856–47. The house was demolished in 1859.[1]

Buildings

[edit]

A number of old villas from the late 19th century have survived. No. 12 is from 1867-[2] The two houses at No. 4 (1893) and No. 6-8 were both designed by Vilhelm Friedrichsen.[3] No. 6 (1870) is now home to Kaptajn Johnsens Skole's after school programmes.[4]

Frederiksberg Borgerforenings Stiftelse (No. 14-16), a five-storey red brick building læcated behind a low fence at the end of the street, was built by Frederiksberg Borgerforening in 1902 as a retirement home for members of the association. It contained 20 dwellings.[5] The architect was Ludvig Andersen who has also designed Pilegaarden and Skt. Joseph Hospital in Copenhagen. Frederiksberg Borgerforening had been founded back in 1888.[6]
