Langebro Kollegium

A DIS Kollegium Full of Atmosphere and History in Christianshavn

In Christianshavn you will have everything you need – from trendy restaurants and shops to some of the most beautiful green spaces the city has to offer. Go on an adventure experiencing the neighborhood’s many cultural sites – including Vor Frelser Kirke, Christiana, museums, and art galleries.

The Building

The Kollegium is in a building built in 1912 for the sugar refinery company ‘Phoenix’. A phoenix bird emblem still appears on one of the neighboring buildings by Langebro. The building originally housed small offices and apartments for refinery workers. The building was completely renovated and turned into a Kollegium by DIS in 2016.
