Papirøen

Christiansholm, known as "Paper Island", is also called the crown jewel of the harbor. The site was originally home to a storage facility for a newspaper roll for the Danish press. Since 2014, it has been a place for temporary tenants such as Copenhagen Street Food, Copenhagen Contemporary Arts Center and various showrooms. The transitional phase preceding the complete revitalization of the island has made it a popular vibrant urban location for locals and tourists alike.
