Ny Kongensgade 7


Ny Kongensgade 7 is a historic property in the small Frederiksholm Quarter of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places on 31 March 1931.

History

The house was built in 1769 for master stonemason Johan Friedrich Lohmann. Born in Hannover, Lohmann had come to Denmark in c. 1760 where he initially worked for royal stone carver Jacob Fortling. He became licensed as a master stone carver in 1766. Lohman worked at the Royal Frederik Stone Quarry on Bornholm from 1779 but died the following year.
The writer Carl Brosbøll, better known under his pseudonym Carit Etlar, lived in the building as a student in 1848-49.

Architecture

Ny Kongensgade consists of three floors over a cellar and is five bays wide. A side wing, probably from the 1770s, extends from the rear side of the building. A three-bay rear wing from 1813 was built for timber merchant Andreas Collstrup. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places on 31 March 1931.

Today

The building contains apartments on all floors.
