Hvidovre

Hvidovre is the main town in Hvidovre Municipality, Denmark. The town, a suburb of Copenhagen, is about 10 km southwest of the capital's center. Its name comes from the fact that a white church could be seen in Hvidovre — hvid means "white" in Danish. The same naming principle also applies to neighboring Rødovre municipality, where a red church could be seen — rød means "red" in Danish.
