Dannerhuset

The red brick Neo-Romanesque structure stands on a granite base, featuring a central section on the north side with architectural details from 1875.

Louise Rasmussen, who became Grevinde Danner through marriage to King Frederik VII, established this foundation between 1873 and 1875 for working-class women.

The building transformed from a residence for underprivileged women into Denmark's first community center focusing on protection from domestic violence.

The center provides shelter services, counseling through Sig Det Til Nogen program, and maintains a knowledge center documenting information about domestic violence.

In 1979, three hundred women prevented the building's demolition through occupation, leading to its protection status and purchase by the community.
