In the heart of Copenhagen, the Fortifications Depot encloses a little oasis with roses and magnolias. The complex, which has heritage status, stands along Frederiksholms Kanal, with Christiansborg Palace, the Kings Brewery, and the Royal Library as its nearest neighbors. In 2007, Realdania By Byg bought the Fortifications Depot from the Ministry of Defense, which had used the facility for more than 250 years.
