In spite of the name under which it is known today, the building was not originally built for the purpose of brewing beer. It is located on [[Slotsholmen]] by the harbourfront and was constructed for military purposes as a [[bastion|corner bastion]], part of [[Christian IV]]'s fortification of the city.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.danishcastles.dk/da/Slotte/Christian4Bryghus/Historie.aspx|title=Christian IV's Bryghus' historie|publisher=Slots- og Ejendomsstyrelsen|accessdate=21 May 2009}}{{dead link|date=August 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
