Gas Lamp

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.

Queen Louise's Bridge spanning Peblingesø (Peblinge Lake, pebling was a student in a grammar school) is one fine bridge, and these old lamp posts are great. The bridge was built in 1885-1887 and named after King Frederik IX's Queen. It was designed by architect Vilhelm Dahlerup, who also designed the Dragon Lamps of a previous post. On the bridge are 8 of these lamps and 4 flag poles.

On the lamp posts are details like these.
