The Building For many centuries, both the Danish Customs and the Tax Authorities have been collec- ting money to finance Go- vernment expenses. Today, the Northern wing of Jens Vilhelm Dahlerup’s big red warehouse houses a Customs and Tax Museum. The old windows have been replaced with Hansen Millennium™.
Jens Vilhelm Dahlerup Architect (1836-1907)
Jens Vilhelm Dahlerup was one of the most well-known Danish architects in the late 19th century. He designed numerous important buil- dings in Copenhagen in his characteristic historic style, among them, Det Kgl. Teater (the Royal Danish Theatre) and Statens Museum for Kunst (Denmark’s National Gallery). As a consultant for Copenhagen’s Harbor, he was also employed to design the development of the harbour area in the late 19th century.
