Kirkestræde 20, Protected monument and medieval building in Køge, Denmark.
Kirkestræde 20 features flint block walls, timber framing, and a steep gabled roof covered with traditional monk and nun tiles.
The building dates back to 1527, identified through a door handle, making it the oldest dated timber-framed structure in Denmark.
The children's story room inside the building displays a mural by Peer Dahl depicting scenes from Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tales.
The structure underwent restoration in 1908 instead of demolition, with subsequent renovations including basement improvements in 2002 and 2004.
Originally part of market booths near Sct. Nicolaj Church, the building served various purposes including tourist office and museum storage.
