Gentofte Lake

The Brobæk Mose bogland adjoins the lake to the northwest.

The original Gentofte was situated at the lake.

[1] Alexander Mitchell, a Scottish immigrant, established a hosiery factory at the lake in 1795.

[3] The neighbourhood at Mitchellsstræde is the remains of the so-called Bondeby.

The yellow buildings located closest to the lake are the remains of Mitchell's stockings factory.
