A former gunpowder magazine built as part of Copenhagen’s defensive system along the Vestvolden. Its thick earth-covered walls were designed to contain accidental explosions and protect nearby troops. Today the building stands as a quiet historical remnant of the city’s fortifications, surrounded by green embankments and woodland paths.
