What makes Historical Pod Walk Tour on the Slaves of Copenhagen a unique experience ?
Nyhavn n.11 is the starting point of this podwalk and of the exploration of Copenhagen's history of slave trading.
The mansion of an owner of a slave plantation in Saint Croix.
Today, it hosts the administration of the royal household. In the past, the house of the man with near monopoly on the transatlantic slave trade from the Gold Coast to the Danish West Indies and Copenhagen.
Today it's a hotel, but in 1787 this was one of the warehouses owned by the Danish West India–Guinea Company in Copenhagen.
Today, it hosts the Royal Cast Collection. But it hasn't always been like that.
The statue is one of the clearest symbols of Danish colonial history.
Danish-Scottish merchant Christopher MacEvoy once was the owner of this impressive building. His family was probably the largest slave-owning family in the West Indies.
