The Elephant Tower (Danish: Elefanttårnet) (also known as the Elephant Gate (Danish: Elefantporten)) is the most famous landmark of the Carlsberg district in Copenhagen, Denmark, the original brewery site of the Carlsberg Breweries (the area is now under redevelopment as a new neighbourhood).
Completed in 1901, the Elephant Tower was built at the same time as the Ny Carlsberg Brewhouse.
Typical of Ny Carlsberg's architecture and Vilhelm Dahlerup's work in general, the Elephant Tower is built in a colourful Historicist style inspired by various periods and cultures.
[1] The four elephants were created by the sculptor Hans Peder Pedersen-Dan, based on a sketch by Dahlerup.
The upper tower, which has a floor area of only 115 square metres, is built in red, ornamental brick.
