Amagertorv 11, Historical building at Amagertorv, Copenhagen, Denmark
Amagertorv 11 extends across four floors with a walk-out basement, featuring neoclassical architecture with pilasters and a triangular pediment on its facade.
The current structure, built between 1798 and 1802 following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, replaced two smaller properties that dated back to the 17th century.
The property housed the prominent Melchior family from 1810 to 1845, including notable merchants Moses Melchior and Moritz G. Melchior who shaped local commerce.
Located on the Strøget pedestrian zone, the building stands 400 meters from the Round Tower and within walking distance of Nyhavn and the Royal Danish Theater.
In 1840, the building accommodated 44 residents across seven households, demonstrating the dense urban living arrangements of nineteenth-century Copenhagen.
