Heering House

Heering House is a neoclassical building in Christianshavn designed in 1785 with refined architectural features typical of that period. The facade displays careful craftsmanship in its stonework and decorative elements.

The building was constructed in 1785 and later became home to the Heering family, who owned it from 1838 to 1875. Over the 20th century it evolved from a private residence into a space dedicated to banking history and institutional purposes.

The building represents a key landmark in Christianshavn's commercial past and reflects the neighborhood's connection to merchant families. Walking through the area, you can see how such residences anchored the community's identity and prosperity.

The building now hosts a museum and foundation, and is easy to spot from its neoclassical facade near the canal. Visitors should allow time to explore the restored interior spaces that reveal how people lived and worked in this era.

The Heering family produced Cherry Heering liqueur at this location across four generations, creating a beverage that became known worldwide. This operation turned the residence into a successful business hub that defined the family's legacy.
