National Archives

Landsarkivet, the National Archives for Zealand, was established in Copenhagen in 1893 on Nuuks Plads in Nørrebro in the north of the city. Ghostly and empty for the past decade, the buildings occupy a silent space in the vibrant neighbourhood. The oldest buildings were built in a new romantic style by Martin Nyrup, who also designed Copenhagen city hall, and in 1966 a massive extension was added in a sober modernist style, designed by renowned architect Nils Koppel.
