Carlsberg is an area located straddling the border of
Valby and
Vesterbro districts in central
Copenhagen,
Denmark approximately 2.4 km from the
City Hall Square. The area emerged when
J.C. Jacobsen founded his original brewery in the district in 1847. The first brewing took place on November 11, 1847, and production took place continuously ever since, until October 30, 2008, when production was moved to
Fredericia in
Jutland. The Jacobsen House Brewery is however still located in the district and produces specialty beers. The entire brewery grounds spread over more than 30
hectares and is currently being transformed into a new city district in Copenhagen.
