About

An open-air passage built by manufacturer Reinholdt W. Jorck between 1893 and 1895. The building was the site of the telephone company KTAS. It was also later used by the Danish Radio Foundation during the 1920s. Today, it's in the heart of the Strøget shopping street. The passage also includes a bust of Jorck.

Know Before You Go

Publicly accessible. As there are no gates on either end, one can enter at anytime of the day or night. If lucky enough, one may encounter musicians taking advantage of the structure's acoustics.
