Odd Fellows Mansion, Rococo palace in Frederiksstaden, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Odd Fellows Mansion is a Rococo palace in Frederiksstaden with ornate facade details and symmetrical windows typical of 18th-century Danish design. The decorative elements on the exterior showcase the skilled craftsmanship invested in its construction.
The palace was built between 1751 and 1755 by architect Johann Gottfried Rosenberg and initially served as a residence for Count Christian August von Berckentin. In 1900 the Independent Order of Odd Fellows purchased the building and converted it into an event venue.
The hall hosts musical performances and cultural events today, keeping alive a tradition of supporting the arts. Visitors can experience how music and creativity animate the spaces, much as they did centuries ago.
The building sits on Bredgade street opposite Dronningens Tværgade near Sankt Annæ Plads and Nyhavn, with good access by public transportation. The neighborhood offers convenient parking options and nearby shops and cafes for visitors exploring the area.
The building was originally a private residence for wealthy families before becoming a cultural venue. The Schimmelmann family played a key role in establishing the artistic traditions that continue today within its halls.
