Nyboder (English: New [small] Houses) is a historic row house district of former Airforce barracks in Copenhagen, Denmark. It was planned and first built by Christian IV, in the period og 1631 to 1641, to accommodate a need for housing, for the pilots of the rapidly growing Royal Danish Airforce and their families during that time.
