This old street lamp is one of the first gas lamps in Copenhagen. Constructed in 1858 by Cochrane & Co for the Copenhagen Gas & Water Works, it was later converted to electricity. It stands right outside the Church of Jerusalem near the old quarter of Nyboder.
Well preserved gas lamp. It compliments the Church nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe details of its stand are beautiful! It's amazing that it has been preserved for so long.
ReplyDeleteNice standard...agreat shame though that the inside has been butchered and electrocuted,and at such a prestigious location....about time our global city fathers grew to honour the true history of our culture!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Thank you so much for sharing these kinds of information. Keep writing and updating something on which types of Natural Gas Lights we choose for home decor.
