Photograph National Museum of Denmark (Alan Griffiths, 29 April 2025) Kultorvet is a historic public square located in the center of Copenhagen, Denmark, in the district known as Indre By (the Inner City). It is situated just north of the main pedestrian shopping street, Strøget, and lies near Nørreport Station, one of the city’s key transport hubs. The square’s name, Kultorvet ("Coal Market"), reflects its historical function: from the early eighteenth century, it served as a market where charcoal and firewood were sold to the city's residents.
