Nyhavn 18, Historic waterfront building in Nyhavn, Denmark.

The yellow four-story building stands along the Nyhavn canal with a traditional red-tiled roof and white-framed windows facing the water.

Built in 1770 for merchant Andreas Bodenhoff, the structure received an additional fourth floor in 1846, expanding its residential capacity.

Hans Christian Andersen lived on the first floor from 1871 to 1875, where he received visits from Crown Prince Frederik and King Christian IX.

The Bank of Denmark transformed the building into seven residences for international artists and scientists affiliated with Danish institutions.

Jonathan Balling, an early supporter of Hans Christian Andersen who worked for the Royal Greenland Trade Department, resided in this building until 1829.
