Landgreven

Landegreven is a street and urban space in central Copenhagen, Denmark, linking Borgergade and Store Kongensgade. It is the site of an underground parking facility. A former filling station facing Borgergade has been converted into a burger joint.

History
Landgreven was created as part of an urban renewal project in the 1950s. The name refers to a private garden known as Landgreven af Hessen which was located at the site in the 18th century. The garden was used as an assistant cemetery of the graveyard of St. Nicolas' Church during the 1711 plague outbreak.
