Odd Fellows Mansion, Rococo palace in Frederiksstaden, Copenhagen, Denmark
The Odd Fellows Mansion is a Rococo palace on Bredgade in the Frederiksstaden district of Copenhagen. Its facade features symmetrical windows, ornamental stucco details, and a curved portal entrance that are characteristic of 18th-century Danish Rococo architecture.
The palace was built between 1751 and 1755 by architect Johann Gottfried Rosenberg as a private residence for Count Christian August von Berckentin. In 1900 the Independent Order of Odd Fellows acquired the building and converted it into an event venue.
The building is used today for concerts, receptions, and private gatherings, so its rooms are regularly in use. On event evenings, the entrance on Bredgade draws a steady flow of guests dressed for the occasion.
The building stands on Bredgade in Frederiksstaden and is within easy walking distance of Nyhavn and Sankt Annæ Plads. Most events take place in the evening, so visiting the area during the day gives a clear view of the facade in good light.
The Schimmelmann family, who owned the building in the late 18th century, was one of the most powerful merchant dynasties in Denmark and used its rooms for high-society gatherings. During this period the palace became a meeting point for figures from the arts and politics.
