Erichsens Palæ, Neoclassical palace at Kongens Nytorv, Denmark
The Erichsens Palace features a columned portal facing Kongens Nytorv with a triangular pediment containing reliefs of Minerva and Mercury above the entrance.
Built between 1797 and 1801 by architect C.F. Harsdorff for merchant Erich Erichsen, the palace replaced a previous structure destroyed in Copenhagen's fire of 1795.
The French architect Joseph-Jacques Ramée created the interior decoration of grand banquet halls on the main floor, incorporating sophisticated design elements.
Located between Holmens Kanal and Vingårdsstræde in central Copenhagen, the building now forms part of Den Danske Bank's property complex near Laksegade.
This palace marks the first instance where freestanding columns were used in a non-royal Danish residence, breaking the tradition of reserving such features for noble houses.
