Damhussøen, or Damhussøen, is located in Copenhagen between Vanløse, Rødovre, Roskildevej, and Damhusengen, extending to Jyllingevej in the north. The green space is connected to Grøndalsparken, Krogebjergparken, and Vigerslevparken. The lake covers an area of 46 hectares. The dam in the south, over which Roskildevej is carried, was built in connection with the construction of the road in 1621. The aim was to ensure a stable water level in the lake and a better water supply to Copenhagen via Grøndalsåen and Ladegårdsåen. In 1849, additional dams were built, separating the northern part of the lake, Bagsøen, from the southern part. The Harrestrup Å, which formerly ran through the lake, was diverted into a ditch with dams on each side on the eastern side of the meadow in 1938. At the same time, Bagsøen was drained, creating Damhusengen. The lake and meadow were granted park status in 1941 and have been protected since 1966. The lake is named Damhus Sø after Damhuset, which is actually named after the lake formerly known as Langvaddam or simply Dammen. The area is also known for its inn. The small local amusement park was demolished in 2016.
