"Tree-lined Paths and Handmade Structures In 1971, squatters moved into the barracks on an abandoned military base and established Freetown Christiania, an autonomous district in the middle of the city. Later, many dwellers built their own homes on the 86-acre property. Although the Danish Supreme Court ruledthis year that the state owns the land, the area’s nearly 1,000 residents have yet to be evicted. Today, visitors can bike along tree-lined paths and check out the handmade structures before they disappear. christiania.org . This appeared in the July/August 2011 issue."

"CHRISTIANIA, Christianshavn. The free town of Christiania is one of Denmark’s most visited attractions, and with good reason. With our office located just on the opposite site of the street this is one of our favourite places to go for a walk and watch all the crazy DIY houses while having a veggie snack. The former military grounds were taken over in the beginning of the 70’s by people who dreamt of a different society. Since then the free town has been known from the notorious ‘pusher street’, where it was possible to buy marijuana and weed openly. This street, however, has been closed for a while now, but Christiania is still an oasis of the city with beautiful nature by the water, inspiring DIY architecture and nice atmosphere."
