Bredgade 24


Bredgade 24 is a listed building located at the corner of Bredgade and Sankt Annæ Plads in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings in 1987.

History

The building was constructed in 1855 to design by Niels Sigfred Nebelong.
Four Sisters of St. Joseph, who came to Denmark in 1856 to establish a Catholic school, initially stayed in the cellar at Sankt Annæ Plads 2.
The art historian Julius Lange lived in an apartment facing Sankt Annæ Plads from 1893 until his death three years later.
H. J. Wengel & Co., a wine store owned by H. J. Wengel and Vald. Reyn, was from 1900 based in the ground floor. Wengel was in 1950 the sole owner of the store. The premises were later taken over by Arnbaks Kunsthandelm, a commercial art gallery.
The building was listed on the Danish Registry of Protected Buildings and Places in 1987.

Architecture

The building has three bays on Bredgade, a rounded corner bay, 11 bays on Snakt Annæ Plads and a half-hipped, two-bay gable facing the grounds of the Garrison Square. The roof features a series of dormers. The original shop windows were a relatively new phenomenon when it was built in 1855.
On the gable facing the Garrison Church is a plaque that commemorates the four sisters of Saint Joseph who initially stayed in the building.

Today

The building now contains a Montana Store in the ground floor.
