The Old Meatpacking district
Originally home to Copenhagen meat industry businesses, “Kødbyen”, the name in Danish, has changed into a new and creative cluster with galleries, nightlife and restaurants.
The Meatpacking District consists of two parts: The Brown and The White from 1878 and 1934, respectively, and is a part of Copenhagen’s Vesterbro neighbourhood. Copenhagen Meatpacking District is built over a period of 50 years. Øksnehallen in the Brown Meatpacking District was finished in 1901 and the White Meatpacking District was opened in april 1934.
In the early 2000s, when the City of Copenhagen realized that the functionalist buildings from the 1930s in Halmtorvet might interest other than just butchers, a vision of a new cultural melting pot began to take shape
Now a foodie haven and without a doubt one of Copenhagen’s hotspots when it comes to nightlife.
