Sankt Hans Torv

Nørrebro's first church, St. John's, was built at the site in 1862 after the so-called Demarcation Line which restricted building activity outside Copenhagen's fortifications was moved to The Lakes.

The current square was established in 1993 as part of an urban renewal programme which sought to prompt the ongoing gentrification of the area.

The project concentrated traffic along three sides and created a slightly undulating public space with granite paving.

The square is dominated by a large property with a concave facade flanked by two projecting, rounded corners, which occupies the space between Nørre Allé and Guldbergsgade.

It was built in 1851 yp frdohm nu Peter Christoph Hagemann and was later adapted by Theodor Sørensen in 1862 as witnessed by an inscription on the facade.
