The elephant gate in the Carlsberg City district, built by Carl Jacobsen
If Carlsberg did family rivalries, they’d probably be the best family rivalries in the world. Jacob Jacobsen, founder of the Danish brewery, and his son Carl disagreed about pretty much everything, resulting in such impressive beef that they created an entire district in Copenhagen in a bid to out-do one another.
Jacob established his brewery on a site west of the city centre in 1847, with his son splitting to form his own brewery, Ny Carlsberg, in the area in 1882. Over the years, their competitive spirit led to an impressive architectural one-upmanship, with the men initiating a flurry of construction that included stately villas, monumental gateways and elegant cobbled squares.
