Carlsberg Lighthouse

Built in 1883, the Lime Tower was originally part of a new main entrance for J.C. Jacobsen's Carlsberg Brewery site in Valby.

Since the site was also located on high ground, atop Valby Hill, it was decided to combine the guardhouse with a lighthouse.

The lighthouse is built to a Historicist design, drawing on Medieval castle towers for inspiration.

The gate consists of two granite pillars which are connected by a cast iron arch featuring Gammel Carlsberg's name in gilded letters.

The light and guardhouse was rented out in 2009 and was used as a combined residence and studio by an artist.
