"The Carlsberg Group is a Danish brewing company founded in 1847 by J. C. Jacobsen after the name of his son Carl."
Swastika Carlsberg
The Elephant Gate, built in 1901, is the most famous building on the Carlsberg Brewery site. The initial idea for the gate came from Carl Jacobsen, working in close collaboration with architect Vilhelm Dahlerup. It was inspired by Bernini’s obelisk-carrying elephant in the Minerva Square in Rome and by the organ façade in Our Saviour's Church. The elephant, a symbol of loyalty and strength, characterises Carl Jacobsen’s Latin motto "Laboremus pro patria" - Let us work for our country. The elephants' blankets bear New Carlsberg's swastika trademark and the initials of Carl’s four surviving children – Theodora, Vagn, Helge and Paula (his heir, Alf, died). Foto: GnPhotos

Swastika Jesus Church
The Jesus Church (Danish: Jesuskirken) is a church in the Valby district of Copenhagen, Denmark, commissioned by second-generation Carlsberg brewer Carl Jacobsen and designed by Danish architect Vilhelm Dahlerup. Noted for its extensive ornamentation and artwork, it is considered to be one of the country's most idiosyncratic and unconventional churches. The church was built as a mausoleum for Carl Jacobsen and his family.
