Realdania is a private association in Denmark which supports projects in architecture and planning. It was established in 2000 following the sale of Realkredit Danmark to Danske Bank, when a fund of approximately 20 billion kroner (EUR 2.7 billion) was put aside for "philanthropic" purposes.[1] Realkredit Danmark was owned and controlled by its members (mortgage lenders), and this set-up was kept in Realdania.
