Industry soon settled on the Öresund coast. To transport limestone from the opposite island of Saltholm , a port was built for Kastrupværk in 1749 . The lime works, built in 1749–1754, housed a brewery in the 19th century, which is why it is now called Bryggergården ( Brewery ). In the 19th century, further industrial plants were built, which were connected to the railway network with the Amagerbanen in 1907 . One of the factories was Kastrup Glasværk , founded in 1847 , which until 1979 produced, among other things, drinking and lamp glasses . Today Kastrup is characterized by open residential developments, in which single-family houses, terraced houses and allotments alternate.
