Møllegade
Møllegade (lit. "Mill Street") is a street in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Nørrebrogade in the southwest to Nørre Allé in the northeast. Copenhagen's Jewish Northern Cemetery has its entrance on the south side of the street and De Gamles By is located on its north side. History. The street is one of the oldest road stretches in Nørrebro. It was part of the original Jagtvej which was created shortly after the construction of Ladegården in 1620 to provide royal hunting parties with easy access to Store Vibenshus from where they followed the Eoyal  Frederiksborg Road north to Jægersborg Dyrehave or Frederiksborg Castle in North Zealand. The lower part of the road later became known as Jødevej (Jew Road) due to the location of the Jewish Cemetery. In 1831, it was one of only three side roads to Nørrebrogade. The upper part of the street was called Sandgravsvej ("Sand Pit Road") due to a number of sand pits located where De Gamles By is today. The sand was for instance used for white-washing of floors. The road received its current name in 1858. Notable buildings and residents. LiteraturHaus (No. 7) is a meeting  place for aspiring writers, artists and other people with an interest in literature.
