Havnegade

Havnegade is a waterfront promenade in central Copenhagen, Denmark, which runs along the Inner Harbour between Knippelsbro and the mouth of the Nyhavn canal.

The street was created when the Royal Danish Navy decommissioned its last operations in the area, which used to be a naval shipyard, and it came under urban redevelopment.

Plans to transform Havnegade into a promenade were put on hold in October 2008 due to budget cuts.

39 was built in 1869 and later came to serve as headquarters for Nordisk Frøkontor ("Nordic Seed Office"), a company founded in 1879, whose name is still seen on the façade.

Its rounded corner is topped by a dome designed in the style of a diving bell and the façade is decorated with caryatids.

The restaunt cruise ship Saga Queen for many years docked at Havnegade but was in 2012 sold and moved to London.
