Lindencrone Mansion, Historical mansion at Bredgade and Sankt Annæ Plads, Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Lindencrone Mansion features a symmetrical facade with ornate stone decorations and classical architectural elements across three floors.

Built between 1751 and 1753 by architect Niels Eigtved for Christen Lintrup, who later became a nobleman under the name Christen Lindencrone.

The mansion represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Danish merchants during the expansion of the Frederiksstaden district in Copenhagen.

The building served as the British Embassy from 1850 to 1979 and underwent substantial restoration after its purchase by Troels Holch Povlsen in 2003.

Court sculptor Jacob Fortling created the decorative elements of the facade using limestone transported from the Gjorslev estate.
