The last representatives of the "endangered species" remained at the station in Arhus. Now several phones in booths and larger booths can be seen in the open-air museum of Den Gamle By and other historical museums.

Just 10 years ago in Denmark there were about 3,000 payphones, in 2010 there were only 500 of them. Although Danish telephone booths and not as iconic as London's, they had their charm and were witnesses of the era, notes EuroPulse.

The first telephone booths, where, in contrast to the booth, people had to pay, not machines, appeared in Denmark in 1896, and their automatic "descendants" - in 1934. Telephone kiosks are still scattered around the cities in Denmark, today these are small shops.
