Brewer J.C. Jacobsen was the first to set up the production and bottling of soda water on siphons in Scandinavia, and he was so successful with his mineral water production that a new factory became necessary when production reached 12 million quart bottles in approx. 1918. Thus, the Mineral Water Factory and associated warehouse were built with the aim of handling both the production and storage of Carlsberg's popular mineral water drinks. The mineral water factory, which is today a listed building, was built in the years 1920-1927 and was designed by the architect Carl Harild, who was also behind several of the other listed buildings on the old brewery grounds, such as The machine center and the Boiler Hall. Today, the building still stands as a beautiful symbol of the time it was built, and at the same time bears the mark of more than 80 years of intense use, where changing needs in the brewery have meant that the factory has continuously undergone major changes both inside and out. After Carlsberg's relocation in 2008 and until today, the Mineralvandsfabrikken has housed a number of cultural institutions and creative companies with strong local roots, including e.g. Dansehallerne and Carlsberg Byen's Gallery & Art Salon. With its central location in the area, it has therefore formed the framework for cultural initiatives and has been a central focal point for life in the city quarter.
