Trianglen, Copenhagen

Five streets meet in the junction: Blegdamsvej, Øster Allé, Østerbrogade, Nordre Frihavnsgade and Odensegade.

The building was destroyed during the Swedish siege of Copenhagen in 1658 and Vartov subsequently moved to its current home on Vester Voldgade in 1665.

[1][2] The site's importance as a junction outside the Eastern City Gate was consolidated when Øster Allé and Blegdamsvej was expanded in 1750.

In the 19th century, Trianglen was a hub for carriages which drove copenhageners north to Jægersborg Dyrehave.

It was designed by Peder Vilhelm Jensen-Klint and has variously been referred to as "The Bee", "The Turtle and "The soup bowl"" due to its shape.
