Holstein Mansion, Baroque mansion with private apartments in central Copenhagen, Denmark
The Holstein Mansion is a Baroque building in downtown Copenhagen featuring tall windows, high ceilings, and elaborate architectural ornamentation across its residential spaces. The structure displays classical proportions and detailed stonework typical of its period.
The building was constructed in 1687 for courtier Henrik Ulrik Lützow and came into the Holstein family's ownership in 1726. Royal sculptor Jacob Fortling later directed substantial renovations to its structure.
The building served as the Royal Museum of Natural History from 1928 to 1871, contributing to Copenhagen's scientific and educational development.
The mansion sits on Stormgade in Copenhagen's old town center and is easily walkable from nearby attractions. As private residential apartments, interior access is not available, but the exterior facade can be appreciated from the street.
The building retains its original hardwood floors from the 1600s beneath modern fixtures and contemporary living systems. This combination demonstrates how historic details can coexist with the practical needs of contemporary residents.
