The Dipylon Gate serves as the entrance to the New Carlsberg Brewery from the Vesterbro side.

The Dipylon originally housed two malting floors and malt was loaded in and out of carriages through tubes in the gate ceiling. It also has a bell tower featuring Stephen Sinding’s artwork The Bell Strikers.
