Slipping through time, imagine a beacon blazing atop Baunehøj. The smoke signals a warning, a call to arms against invaders. Today, Baunehøj in Kongens Enghave whispers a different story. This ancient site, once located near Sjællør Boulevard, no longer commands a view of approaching enemies. The name itself, Baunehøj, translates to “Beacon Hill,” a testament to its original purpose. Before 1928, Bavnehøj Allé, the road leading to Vestre Kirkegård, was known as Vestre Kirkegårds Allé. As you stroll along this avenue, pause near Enghavevej. Admire the powerful sculpture “Hestebetvingeren,” or “The Horse Tamer.” This masterpiece by Thomas Vincotte, erected in 1914, was a generous gift from brewer Carl Jacobsen. Though the beacon fires are long extinguished, Baunehøj’s legacy endures. It’s a reminder of a time when this hill stood vigilant, protecting its people from distant threats.
