Article 24(3) of the Danish copyright law permits photographs of buildings, without any restriction on where they are located.
"(3) Buildings may be freely reproduced in pictorial form and then made available to the public."
Other types of copyrighted works are not subject to the same full exception. However, works of art are subject to the limited exception of section 24(2), which allows commercial publication when they are permanently situated in a public place or road and when they do not constitute the central element of the picture.
"(2) Works of art may be reproduced in pictorial form and then made available to the public if they are permanently situated in a public place or road. The provision of the first sentence shall not apply if the work of art is the chief motif and its reproduction is used for commercial purposes."
