Lake Emdrup

Frederik II provided for the construction of a six km water tube from Lake Emdrup to the Gammeltorv marketplace.

The altitude difference being 9 metres, the water pressure was adequate for a fountain to be constructed.

[1][2] Lake Emdrup was long known as Lundehussøen after the Lundehus Kro, an inn located on Lyngbyvej.

[4] It is situated in the triangular area between Tuborgvej to the west, Lyngbyvej to the east and Emdrupvej to the south.

A listed Neoclassical house from the 1800s, Søholm, stands on the north shore of the lake.
