Gefion and Gylfe
Gefion and Gylfe, situated at Østbanegade 19–21, between Stavangergade and Fridtjof Nansens Plads, is a pair of National Romantic high-end apartment buildings attached to each other by an archway across Mandalsgade in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. The symmetrical building complex was originally located in the axis of the Langelinie Bridge, an Asger Ostenfeld-designed steel bridge spanning the railway tracks just north of Østerport station, now replaced by a bicycle and footbridge. The two buildings were individually listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 2000. The Irish embassy is based in Gylfe (No. 21). In Norse mythology, Gefion is the goddess who plouged Zealand out of Sweden. Gylfe is the king who challenged her to do so.
