Christians Brygge

It runs from the mouth of Slotsholmen Canal in the north to Langebro Bridge in the south where it turns into Kalvebod Brygge.

Its northern end, which is located on the small isle of Slotsholmen, is connected to Niels Juels Gade and then Holmens Kanal by Christian IV's Bridge.

[1] The street only continued to present-day Vester Voldgade where the Rysensteen Bastion of Copenhagen's old West Rampart had still not been removed.

The House of the Drowned was demolished in 1902 while the Rysensteen Public Sea Bath was dismantled and partly rebuilt on the other side of the harbor in 1905.

The new Langebro Bridge, which opened in 1954, passed over Christiansgade, turning Kalvebod Brygge-Christiansgade into an uninterrupted thoroughfare.

The Black Diamond, designed by schmidt hammer lassen is a modern extension for the Royal Danish Library which opened in 1999.

tar castle/fortress from its dark appearance with a facade of green marble and copper,[2] (Christians Brygge 6) was built by the architects Thomas Havning and Svenn Eske Kristensen from 1961 to 1968.

Two cobbled alleys, one on each side of the Royal Library Garden, connect Christiansbrygge to Christiansborg and the street Tøjhusgade.

A bronze cast of Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen's 1921 sculpture Mermaid was installed on the waterfront outside the Black Diamond in 2009.

[5] The cast was a gift to the Royal Danish Library from the Carl Nielsen and Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen Foundation.
