caption_attribution_description: English: Skydebanegade in Copenhagen, Denmark. On the other side of the wall at its end lies the small community park Skydebanehaven (the Shooting Range Garden).
context_page_description: Istedgade is a 1-kilometer straight street in the district of Vesterbro in the Danish capital, Copenhagen. It starts at Copenhagen Central Station and runs parallel to Vesterbrogade to Enghave Plads and Enghaveparken. From the station in the cheap hotel district, it runs through the porn, prostitution and drugs area to modern Vesterbro, where 1900s tenement style blocks have undergone significant modernisation. It is generally considered the heart of Vesterbro and was a main traffic artery until 2013 where the street had traffic reducing measures installed.
context_section_description: The Church of Mary (Mo. 20) is from 1907–09 and was designed by Andreas Clemmesen.
  The Shooting Range Wall, flanked by two residential buildings (Mo. 72) was constructed in 1887 when  the Royal Copenhagen Shooting Society's shooting range (now Skydebanehaven) was shortened to keep people on Istedgade from being hit by stray bullets. The Gothic Revival style structure was designed by Ludvig Lnudsen. The complex was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1982.
