Karens Minde
Karens Minde is a former mental institution from 1880 now operated as a local cultural centre in the Kongens Enghave district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Karens Minde was one of the so-called Kellerian Institutions, founded in 1867 by Johan Keller. The institution replaced a country house, with a history dating back to the 1890s, from which it took its name. The oldest part of the building from 1880 was designed by Vilhelm Klein in the Renaissance Revival style. A Neoclassical extension designed by Einar Thuxen was added in 1914. Three red-painted wooden buildings were moved to the site in 1949. They had previously been used for housing refugees at Kløvermarken. A heritage-listed garden pavilion from Sankt Hans Hospital in Roskilde was moved to the site in 2002. Karens Minde houses a public library, Enghave Brygge Local Historic Archives and a wide range of cultural activities. The surrounding greenspace, Karens Minde Aksen (The Karens Minde Axis), which was inaugurated in 2023, serves both as parkland, a greenway and as cloudburst protection.
