The Carlsberg Elephant Gate

Carlsberg Byen · Architecture / Public Art · Free

I use the elephants as the front door to Carlsberg Byen. Read the carving and you've read the whole confidence of 19th-century Danish industry.

Four granite elephants carrying a tower over the road into the old Carlsberg brewery. Victorian industrial swagger, and the gateway to the district's public art.
