From 1958 to 1999, this Kalvebod Brygge waterfront site was Copenhagen's main fish market — Fisketorvet literally means 'the fish square' — before the market relocated to the Northern Harbour and freed the land for redevelopment. Architect Karl Gustav Åkerström of Kiehlers Architects designed the shopping centre that opened here on 10 October 2000, giving it a curved, layered form deliberately reminiscent of an ocean liner docked at the shore, in a nod to the site's maritime history.
