Palm House

Explore the tropics in the iconic greenhouse and dream yourself away to warmer climates
The Palm House is located in the heart of the Botanical Garden, and from its terrace, there is a splendid view over the garden and a glimpse of Copenhagen's spires and towers. Here, you can enjoy life in peaceful, green surroundings in the midst of a bustling capital, far from the city's noise and traffic.

The beautiful Victorian Palm House is an important part of the Natural History Museum of Denmark's living collections. With its central location, the house forms a green oasis of subtropical and tropical plants. The protected Palm House in the Botanical Garden was constructed between 1872-74, with brewer J.C. Jacobsen as one of the driving forces behind the project. The architect of the Palm House was city architect Peter Christian Bønecke, and it is made of cast iron and glass. The inspiration for the Palm House was drawn from the Crystal Palace in London, which was built for the Great Exhibition in 1852.
