Landmarks
Klampenborg is known for a cluster of building projects by the Functionalist Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. These include Bellevue Beach, the Bellavista housing estate and the Bellevue Theatre, all completed between 1932–36 as some of the earliest Danish examples of Modernism.[1] The area also includes a Jacobsen-designed restaurant, now called Jacobsen, which reopened in 2009 after thorough restoration[2] and to good reviews.[3]
Due to Bellevue Beach, Klampenborg is also a popular beach destination in summer, although the area draws fewer Copenhageners since the inauguration of Amager Beach Park and the Copenhagen Harbour Baths in 2005.
Klampenborg is also the main gateway to the extensive Deer Garden forest park, one of the most popular (semi-)natural areas in the Copenhagen area, known for its large deer population and ancient oak trees.[4] The entrance, one of many, is located right next to Klampenborg Station and is marked by a red-painted wooden gate. In connection with the park lies the Dyrehavsbakken amusement park, also located close to the station.
