History on our doorstep
Nordeq’s Denmark office is located in the historic harbour in the centre of Copenhagen

Nordeq’s main office in Denmark is situated at the heart of Copenhagen’s most picturesque area, Nyhavn. Famous for its multi-coloured town houses and wooden ships on the canal, the area is consistently a hit with tourists and locals alike. The numerous bars and restaurants of the pedestrian street are hugely popular, particularly on a sunny summer day.

Nyhavn was originally dug from 1670 to 1673 by Swedish war prisoners from the Swedish War of 1660. During the 19th and early 20th centuries it had a reputation for being a rough area, frequented by sailors just coming off the ships. However, an extensive refurbishment programme in the 1980s kept the classic architecture but cleaned up the area, transforming it into the popular place it is today.

Nordeq’s offices are based on the south side of the canal in a converted packing house. The building was originally constructed in the 1770s but was refurbished recently. The conversion successfully maintained the old world charm with characteristic wooden beams in the building, whilst offering state of the art facilities demanded by modern business.

During late March 2015, the Nyhavn area’s historic look was used (with the help of first generation cars, vintage signs, and raw fish) as a backdrop for the filming of “The Danish Girl”, a film set in 1920s Copenhagen. The first Hollywood film to be recorded on location here since Hitchcock’s “Topaz” I969 “The Danish Girl” is being directed by Oscar winning director Tom Hooper (winner for “The Kings Speech” in 2011), and starring this years Best Actor at the Oscars, Eddie Redmayne (who won for his portrayal of Stephen Hawking in “The Theory of Everything”). The film will be released just in time for the 2016 Oscar nominations early next year.
