Ordrup Asyl

Ordrup Asyl, later Kong Christian IX's Asyl and now Kong Christian Den Ix og Dronning Louises Børnehave, is a daycare institution established in the 1860s in Ordrup to the north of Copenhagen, Denmark.

Ordrup Asyl was established at private initiative in 1860 by a group of prominent citizens led by the pastor at Gentofte Church.

The current building was constructed in 1898 to a Neo-Gothic design by municipal architect Andreas Theil.

The construction cost, circa 25,000 Danish krones, was donated by Jacob Moresco, one of the wealthiest citizens in Gentofte at the time and owner of nearby country house Adelaide.

The institution is called Kong Christian Den IX og Dronning Louises Børnehave.
