3. The Vilhelm Lauritzen Terminal
In 1939, Copenhagen Airport opened a new airport terminal: it was designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Lauritzen and in use until 1960. To create space for new terminal buildings, the railway station and a hotel, the old 4000-square-metre building was moved 3.8 kilometres to the western side of the airport area in 1999. |
