Winter Ligths on Brønshøj Water Tower
Light in the Winter Darkness: A Greeting from Brønshøj Water Tower
Every winter, long chains of light are illuminated along the many columns of Brønshøj Water Tower, highlighting its unique architecture and spreading warmth and safety across the area. This gesture serves as a beacon for the many passersby on their way to or from school and work.
Perched on one of Copenhagen’s highest points, the 34-meter-tall building stands as a pioneering work of reinforced concrete, once used to distribute drinking water to the city. Today, it serves as a cultural hub and a landmark for the district—a vital addition to the city’s skyline, adorned with its beautiful towers.
