Enghave Plads

Enghave Plads is a central public square of the Vesterbro district in Copenhagen, Denmark.

It is located where Istedgade reaches Enghavevej, which separates the square from Enghave Park.

[1] A playground was established on the site in the late 1880s at the initiative of architect and city council member Ferdinand Meldahl.

[6] They were moved and the small public Enghave Park was laid out under the direction of City Architect Poul Holsøe, who also designed the red-brick social housing which was built at the same time and borders the park on three sides.

Boy with fiasco, a fountain designed by Jens Lund, was installed in the centre of the square in 1903.
