Fredens Port is a concrete sculpture created by Stig Brøgger, Hein Heinsen and Mogens Møller. It stands beside Fredensbro, in Copenhagen’s central urban area. The tall structure marks the boundary between the city centre and surrounding neighbourhoods. Its geometry follows the principles of minimalist art. A large keyhole-shaped opening cuts through the middle, giving the tall structure a visible passage. The central opening once held an electric light.

Its shape relates to movement between Copenhagen’s inner city and its outer districts. It marks a passage between nearby city districts. The title means Gate of Peace in English. Fredens Port stands at the southern end of Fredens Park, named after the neighbouring Fredensgade. The park occupies a transformed urban site beside Fredensbro. Blegdamsmøllen once processed grain into flour on this site, before its operation ended. Buildings were later demolished for a planned motorway, but the cancelled project left the park in place. The sculpture later joined the park, extending its geometric form into public space. Its presence connects the park with Copenhagen’s changing urban edges. The three artists are known for modern and minimalist work in public settings. Their work connects public art with movement. Fredens Port links a solid structure with a passage through Copenhagen’s urban landscape.
