History

Glacisgården takes its name after the glacis outside Copenhagen's East Rampart which was located at the site until the second half of the 19th century. The building was constructed in 1903-04 to design by Aage Langeland-Mathiesen.[1]

Architecture

The building is designed in the Jugendstil. The design is strongly inspired by an Arthur Meinig building from 1898 at Attila utca 8 ii Budapest.[2]
