Valby Langgade

The c. 3.2 km long street runs from the southern end of Pile Allé and the Carlsberg neighbourhood in the east to Roskildevej at Damhus Lake in the west.

Apartment buildings with five and six stories sprung up and the Norden porcelain factory was established on the south side of the road a little to the west of the old village centre in 1916.

Carl Jacobsen was also responsible for the construction of the Jesus Church located a little further to the west, just off Valby Langgade.

Between the brewery and the church, opposite Søndermarken, is an area of single family detached homes with many large villas from the 1910s and 1920s.

The house at Valby Langgade 7A (1934) was designed by Thomas Havning and received the Art Academy's Annual Medal.

A number houses located on both sides of Bjerregaardsvej have been merged into am eclectic headquarters for the company Edlund, a provider of IT solutions for the insurance industry.

The oldest building in the area is a so-called rytterskole (cavalry school) from 1722, although it has seen many alterations, which now houses Valby Library (Annexstræde 2).

The shopping centre Spinderiet, located on both sides of Annexstræde, is partly based in the former buildings of De Danske Bomuldsspinderier.

[7] In a small green space at the corner of Valby Langgade with Skovbogårds Allé stands a marble sculpture by Anders Bundgaard entitled And Day Dawns with its Thousand Demands (Og Dagen runder, Med sine tusinde Krav).

[8] In a circular flowerbed in front of the Jesus Church stands a crucifix designed by the sculptor Jens Adolf Jerichau.

It replaced a copy of Michelangelo's sculpture Moses from the church San Pietro in Vincoli in Rome that was transferred to the Carlsberg Glyptoteque.

Hanne Varming's sculpture Woman with Dogs (Konen med Hundene) was installed on Valby Tingsted on 7 May 2013.
