Krudttønden

Krudttønden (meaning "The powder keg") is a café and local cultural centre at Østerfælled Torv in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Krudttønden is used for a wide array of cultural events, including theatre, concerts, debates, exhibitions and receptions.

Krudttønden was established in connection with the redevelopment of the former Østerfælled Barracks into a mixed-use development.

It was established in 1990 by the Municipality of Copenhagen at the request of local artists and volunteers.

On 14 February 2015, the cafe was the site of a shooting attack that killed the 55-year-old film director Finn Nørgaard and wounded three police officers.
