I really wish I could have more time to get out with my camera and grab some shots but life at the moment just doesn't allow that. This one is a couple of weeks old from when I happened to pass through the old Nyboder area. There are many old buildings here, which could definitely use some TLC and in fact major projects are in progress to restore all of these charming old buildings, which are still inhabited. Because of the need for TLC, there are good shots to be had. Plants growing up against the wall, the old shutters and part of a bike. I can't explain why but it really appealed to me and I immediately envisioned it in B&W.
Nyboder is a historic row house district of former Naval barracks in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was planned and first built by Christian IV to accommodate a need for housing for the personnel of the rapidly growing Royal Danish Navy and their families during that time. While the area is still commonly associated with the name of its founder as one of his numerous building projects around Copenhagen, the Nyboder seen today was in fact, except for a single row of houses in St. Paulsgade, built from 1757.

The oldest part of Nyboder built 1641.
Under Christian IV the Royal Danish Navy grew rapidly and there was an urgent need for suitable accommodation for its personnel and their families. Bremerholm already offered similar housing for naval officers, these were the old houses referred to by implication in Nyboder's name, so now the new barracks were to house common sailors and other private personnel. The new development was planned on land outside Copenhagen previously acquired by the king with the intention to expand the fortified city northwards. This had still not happened but Saint Anne's Post, later to develop into Kastellet, had already been constructed a little further north.
Construction of Nyboder was commenced in 1631. The area was laid out around two main streets radiating from a planned square which was never established. The rows were oriented perpendicularly to these streets. The architects assisting the King were Hans van Steenwinckel the Younger and later Leonhard Blasius. Christian IV's Nyboder was completed around 1641.

Because of a cancelled trip I finally had a little time to get out with my camera and happened to pass through the old Nyboder area. There are many old buildings here, which could definitely use some TLC and in fact major projects are in progress to restore all of these charming old buildings, which are still inhabited. Because of the need for TLC, there are good shots to be had and I found this door, which was perfect for an abstract because of the colour of the old glass against the rather boring looking (missing?) paint on the door.

Originally they were built by King Christian IV to house his Danish Navy personnel and their families.

Nyboder is today very much associated with their yellow colour and "Nyboder yellow" is in Danish often used as a generic term to refer to their exact hue of yellow. However, the original colour of the development was red and white.
From 1872 to 1877 St. Paul's Church was built to the design of Johannes Emil Gnudtzmann in the middle of the Nyboder area and it is often referred to as Nyboder's Church. It is built in red brick and the masonry is decorated with blinds, arches, columns. and pinnacles on all corners.

St. Paul's Church (Danish: Sankt Pauls Kirke) is a Lutheran church in central Copenhagen, Denmark, also colloquially known as Nyboder's Church due to its location in the middle of the Nyboder area. It was designed by Johannes Emil Gnudtzmann and constructed from 1872 to 1877.
The church is part of a wave of church constructions which took place in Copenhagen in the 1870s to provide capacity for the city's growing population. Unlike the other new churches – St. Stephen's and St. James' in Østerbro and St. Mathew's in Vesterbro – St. Paul's was not built in one of the emerging districts outside the city's old fortifications which had just been decommissioned. Johannes Emil Gnudtzmann was charged with the design of the new church, his first independent work as an architect, and it opened on 15 February 1877.

This area of Copenhagen was established (starting in 1647) under the king, Christian IV to accommodate his navy and their families. These row houses are still in use and are easily identified by their orange colouring (even though the original colours were red and white.) There's a starkness to the streets as they're completely devoid of trees. Nevertheless, each place is meticulously maintained and lots of bikes lean against the walls of these homes.
I've a few more Nyboder shots to upload, hopefully no-one minds a number of variations on a theme......
The Nyboder District is one of my favourite places to wander around Copenhagen. It's not a large area but there's plenty of photographic opportunities.
